Partners & Funders
In partnership with Compute Canada and CANARIE, which operate the national High Performance Computing infrastructure and ultra-high speed backbone network, C3G also facilitates access to significant computing resources to accelerate genomic analyses.Funders
Genome Canada is a not-for-profit organization, funded by the Government of Canada. It act as a catalyst for developing and applying genomics+ and genomic-based technologies to create economic and social benefits for Canadians.
Ontario Genomics is a publicly-funded not-for-profit organization that works with companies, researchers, and policymakers to support the early stages of moving genomics technologies from the lab to solve real world problems in the clinic and industry.
Génome Québec contributes to strengthening the competitiveness of the genomics innovation system in order to maximize its socioeconomic impact in Québec, by funding major genomic research initiatives and putting in place the tools necessary for scientific and strategic development in the field.
CANARIE operates and evolves the national backbone of Canada’s ultra-high-speed National Research and Education Network (NREN), connecting to 12 provincial and territorial partner networks. This world-class 10 gigabit per second network is critical infrastructure supporting today’s data-intensive, globally collaborative research.
Compute Canada, in partnership with regional organizations ACENET, Calcul Québec, Compute Ontario and WestGrid, leads the acceleration of research innovation by deploying state-of-the-art advanced research computing (ARC) systems, storage and software solutions.
