These organizations are separated into two categories: Government Organizations and Private Organizations

National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) - Established in 1988 as a national resource for molecular biology information, NCBI creates public databases, conducts research in computational biology, develops software tools for analyzing genome data, and disseminates biomedical information - all for the better understanding of molecular processes affecting human health and disease.

European Bioinformatics Institute - A center for research and services in bioinformatics.  The EBI manages and analyzes databases of biological data, including DNA, protein sequences, and macromolecular structures.

The Computational Biology Section of the Life Sciences Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. - Conducting genetics research and system development in genomic sequencing, computational genome analysis, computational protein structure analysis, high-performance biocomputing, bioinformation systems, biosystems modeling, and genetics information management.  Within this organization is the ORNL Protein Informatics Group currently consisting of eight scientists with highly diversified training background, ranging from biochemistry, computational chemistry, biophysics, physics to computer science, statistics and mathematics. Our common interests are in development of computational tools for solving problems from molecular biology. The work ranges from construction of mathematical/statistical models to development of algorithms to code implementation on various platforms to applications of computational tools to solve various bio-data analysis problems.

EMBL (European Molecular Biology Laboratory) Structural and Computational Biology Programme

National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) - Collectively is one of the largest biomedical research facilities in the world.  Originally it was established to head the Human Genome Project for the National Institutes of Health.
