Goals of the Center

• The W.M. Keck Center for Genome Informatics was established in January of 1993 at the Institute of Biosciences and Technology (Texas A&M University) in Houston. The goals of the new Center are to provide:
  a computational infrastructure (hardware, software and staff) to support the study of genomes of agricultural (crops and domestic animals) and biomedical interest, as well as model organisms

  a forum to promote interaction and exchange of information between the agricultural and biomedical communities
