CRI: Computational Biology Facility for Western Massachusetts

摘要程序：NSF 04-588 CISE计算研究中心结构标题：CRI：马萨诸塞州西部的计算生物学设施提案：CNS 0551401 PI：Brock，Oliver机构：马萨诸塞州阿默斯特大学的研究人员将获得一个计算机集群，用于支持马萨诸塞州西部研究人员的生物信息学和计算生物学研究。研究将集中在五个研究领域，旨在了解基于基因序列信息的蛋白质功能决定。这些项目是计算机科学和分子生物学的桥梁，旨在寻找计算方法来发现函数的映射。该项目将在校园内提供这些资源，并鼓励马萨诸塞州西部五所学院在2005年成立的区域计算生物学特别兴趣小组的基础上使用这些资源。研究人员将通过东北研究生教育联盟和教授协会以及与少数民族服务和妇女学院和大学的合作，积极从代表性不足的群体中招收学生。

AbstractProgram: NSF 04-588 CISE Computing Research InfrastructureTitle: CRI: Computational Biology Facility for Western MassachusettsProposal: CNS 0551401PI: Brock, OliverInstitution: University of Massachusetts AmherstResearchers at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst will acquire a computer cluster for research in bioinformatics and computational biology research supporting researchers in Western Massachusetts. Research will focus on five research areas that seek to understand protein function determination based on genetic sequence information. The projects bridge computer science and molecular biology to find computational methods to discover the mappings to functions. The project will make these resources available on campus and encourage use in the Five Colleges of Western Massachusetts building on a regional Computational Biology Special Interest Group established in 2005. The researchers will actively recruit students from underrepresented groups through the Northeast Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate and collaborations with minority serving and womens colleges and universities.
