General Account Information
The BSE 3.114 lab is available 24/7 via swipe card access. Technical assistance should be available from 9am-5pm, Monday through Friday.
Your CBI login will give you access to the public computer area in the BSE 3.114. Powerful workstations are available, many with 23”+ flat panel monitors suitable for extremely high resolution graphical applications. Macintosh, Windows XP, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux workstations are all available for use, each with a powerful suite of bioinformatics and general analysis applications.
On the lab machines running Windows XP, your data drive will be automatically mounted as the X: drive. On the Macintosh and Linux systems your data drive is mounted as your “home directory”.
Please save all important data on the X: drive on the Windows XP lab machines, or your Linux or Mac home directory, because the local drives are not backed up. The “My Documents” and “Desktop” areas in Windows XP should not be used.
Gateway Computer Addresses
Two of our computers are accessible externally via secure shell for running bioinformatics applications and accessing your data using your CBI login.

Other Services
CBI also provides other services on request to selected applicants, including collaboration with our faculty liaisons, graduate student support, and general grant support. The BSE 3.114 lab is also a great classroom for small groups in need of multimedia and computer support and is available by reservation.
