Welcome to the GCD bioinformatics resources page.
I will be using this space to share resources and information with the department. I will also be highlighting some of the projects I have worked to give a sense of what kind of projects I have worked on and how these bioinformatics tools might be able to help your research. Please feel free to send me requests for tutorials or ask questions that might be of general interest.

FAQ (Coming Soon):
Galaxy, CLC Genomics, or Command line – what is right for me?
I just got my RNA-Seq dataset, now what?
