Updated Listing of US Programs in Bioinformatics, with a Solicitation for Edits

Please see editable Gsheet. Also, there's a frozen Gsheet and a downloadable spreadsheet.

This is a rough listing of a number of the computational biology and bioinformatics programs in the United States, with a little bit of commentary. I attempted to list the name of each program, a bit about its structure (such as a department, a center, an inter-departmental PhD granting program, etc.) and some aspect of its scale. This is an update from my post ~18 months ago.

The point of this list is to help me to continue to reflect on Yale's existing Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (CBB) Program, which is an inter-departmental PhD granting entity.

I'm sure my list contains a number of inaccuracies, and I apologize for these in advance! I would really appreciate if people could help improve this. You can send suggestions to my email (see contact.gerstein.info) and I will update as appropriate. Even better: for this time around, I've created two gsheets, one frozen and one that anyone can edit. Please feel to edit the later as you see fit, listing your attribution in the first column.

Finally, you might find relevant some posts on my microblog that I've tagged related to computational biology program (cbb0mg) and my class (cbb752).
