Bielefeld University to host the European node for human genome data
US-American genome server is being twinned in Ostwestfalen
Since
2001, the human genome has been accessible on the Internet over the
‘UCSC Genome Browser’. It is hosted by University of California, Santa
Cruz, USA. This Website is used intensively by geneticists, molecular
biologists, and medical scientists engaged in research on the human
genome throughout the world. However, the strong demand is straining the
data link across the Atlantic. The answer has been to set up a computer
in Europe to feed a copy of the Genome Browser into the Internet. The
contract went to Bielefeld University. Technicians from the University
of California linked up the server. Since 26th of June Bielefeld
University hosts the European node of the genome server.
