==Introduction== <!--T:1-->


<!--T:2-->
=Software= <!--T:8-->
While the bioinformatics community has matured substantially in recent years, rapid development is required to keep pace with massive increases in data volume and generation. Specifically, there is still much room for improvement in the optimization of computational resources, discovery of and access to analytical tools, and training and general dissemination of bioinformatics best practices. Furthermore, privacy and data protection policies often present major obstacles for bioinformaticians, particularly those in the realm of health informatics. To address these needs, the Compute Canada Bioinformatics National Team (BNT) is committed to a strategy that includes leveraging existing Compute Canada resources as well as developing new resources and practices where necessary.


==Who we are== <!--T:3-->
<!--T:10-->
The BNT's members are bioinformatics professionals from Compute Canada, the BC Genome Sciences Centre, and the Canadian Centre for Computational Genomics.
See [[Available_software#List_of_globally-installed_modules|Available software]] for a list of bioinformatics applications on our systems.

You can sort on 'Type', where bioinformatics software is categorized as 'bio'.
==Genome database== <!--T:9-->
{{Outdated}}
In partnership with [http://www.computationalgenomics.ca C3G], we maintain several genome databases on Cedar and Graham as well as Guillimin and Mammouth. In addition to the fasta sequence, many genomes include aligner indices and annotation files. For more information about the available data [[Genomics_data | click here]]
