成瘾是一种高度复杂的疾病，其风险因素包括基因变异和基因差异。 发展、性和环境。精准医学改善药物治疗的长期潜力 而预防依赖于更好地了解遗传学、药物、脑细胞和 神经回路相互作用，影响行为。有严重的技术障碍阻碍了研究人员 和临床医生在成瘾研究中纳入更强大的计算和预测方法。 NIDA P30 OMICS、系统遗传学和智囊团卓越核心中心的宗旨 是授权和培训由NIH、NIDA、NIAAA和其他联邦和州机构支持的研究人员 使用更多定量和可测试的方法来分析遗传、表观遗传和环境因素 影响药物滥用风险和治疗。管理核心管理研究核心之间的关系， 由用户、受训人员和试点计划参与者组成的群体。转译组信息学和机制 Research core汇集并分析了数百个大型基因组(DNA)和转录组(RNA)数据集 用于实验性的啮齿动物(大鼠)成瘾模型。系统分析和建模研究的核心，正在使用 创新的系统遗传学方法(基因图谱)以了解DNA差异之间的联系， 环境风险，如压力，以及药物滥用和复发的不同风险。试点核心是 促进年轻研究人员在成瘾研究领域的新合作。总而言之，中心是 为更具重复性的成瘾研究提供全国性资源。我们正在集中、归档、分发、 分析和集成高质量的数据、元数据，使用开放式软件系统与多个 其他团队的研究人员。我们的目标是帮助建立一个NIDA Addicome门户，它将包括所有 与成瘾研究相关的基因组研究。

Addiction is a highly complex disease with risk factors that include genetic variants and differences in development, sex, and environment. The long term potential of precision medicine to improve drug treatment and prevention depends on gaining a much better understanding how genetics, drugs, brain cells, and neuronal circuitry interact to influence behavior. There are serious technical barriers that prevent researchers and clinicians from incorporating more powerful computational and predictive methods in addiction research. The purpose of the NIDA P30 Core Center of Excellence in Omics, Systems Genetics, and the Addictome is to empower and train researchers supported by NIH, NIDA, NIAAA, and other federal and state institutions to use more quantitative and testable ways to analyze genetic, epigenetic, and the environmental factors that influence drug abuse risk and treatment. The Administrative Core manages relations among research cores, groups of users, trainees, and pilot program participants. The Transcriptome Informatics and Mechanisms research core assembles and analyzes hundreds of large genome (DNA) and transcriptome (RNA) datasets for experimental rodent (rat) models of addiction. The Systems Analytics and Modeling research core, is using innovative systems genetics methods (gene mapping) to understand the linkage between DNA differences, environmental risks such as stress, and the differential risk of drug abuse and relapse. The Pilot core is catalyzing new collaborations among young investigator in the field of addiction research. In sum the Center is a national resource for more reproducible research in addiction. We are centralizing, archiving, distributing, analyzing and integrating high quality data, metadata, using open software systems in collaboration with many other teams of researchers. Our goal is to help build toward an NIDA Addictome Portal that will include all genomic research relevant to addiction research.
