UCSC Up To More than Bioinformatics
UC Santa Cruz is well know in our field for their part in the Human Genome Project. Led by David Haussler, the bioinformatics group there released the first working draft of the human genome sequence on the web, leading shortly to the UCSC Genome Browser, an essential open resource for biomedical science. This was followed up last year by the launch of the Cancer Genomics Hub (CGHub), a large-scale data repository for the National Cancer Institute.
