= Introduction =
Bioinfo-core is a global community of people who manage and/or staff bioinformatics facilities within organizations of all types including academia, academic medical centers, medical schools, biotechs and pharmas.  Through this wiki and our online [http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/bioinfo-core discussion lists] and [https://join.slack.com/t/bioinfo-core/shared_invite/zt-1270uiv8w-iSMF5af8V89mpIoL19i60w Slack] we discuss many topics that are challenging bioinformatics cores world wide: from IT, new instrumentation, staffing and training bioinformaticians, tools, software, to services for biologists and MD's.
&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;
We are also tied into the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) ecosystem via ISMB-related workshops and COSI activities (BioInfo-Core).
&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;
Our community traces back to the early 2000s: Our [https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.10003722009 PLOS Comp Bio perspective] describes Bioinfo-Core being formed at ISMB 2002 and growing thereafter.
&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;
We hold several events throughout the year including quarterly conference calls (with published [[Call Minutes]]) and a yearly set of informal presentations and dinners at the annual meeting, Intelligent Systems in Molecular Biology ([http://www.iscb.org/iscb-conferences ISMB]), the official conference of [http://www.iscb.org/ ISCB]
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Please browse, add and participate in the wiki and the discussion lists.  To edit the wiki, create a New Account and then edit the [[BioWiki:Community_portal | Community Portal]] to add a link for your core facility and its description.

= Wiki page links =
*[[Call Minutes]]: Annual meetings at ISMB with presenations; Detailed minutes from quarterly conference calls on selected and pertinent topics. 
*[[BioWiki:Community_portal | Community Portal]]: list your organization!
*[[Ongoing Discussions]]: discussion forums including lists of software, tools, etc.
*[[Special:Categories]]: find pages using categories such as Tools, Presentations, NextGenSequencing, Meetings etc.
