BIOINFORMATICS CORE

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 生物信息学核心建立了支持爱达荷州生物医学研究的技术和人力资源。生物信息学被纳入每个爱达荷州校园的各级活动中，大多数网络机构单独的INBRE生物信息学预算就是证明。 为了保持在“细胞信号”研究中使用的三种类型的生物信息学分析的临界质量，重点领域将继续在（i）进化分析（UI），（ii）基因表达分析（ISU），和（iii）蛋白质结构分析和蛋白质组学（BSU）。UI将托管本地数据库和分布式集群计算机，用于统计建模和系统发育估计。ISU将拥有一台分布式集群计算机和与其高通量测序设施紧密集成的软件。BSU将托管一个分布式集群计算机和软件，与他们的质谱仪设施紧密集成。 每个设施将通过高速电信提供给每个州立机构的教职员工和学生。高端计算硬件将通过安全的互联网连接和最先进的分析软件向所有INBRE参与者提供，专家将在必要时提供专业帮助。 这些设施获得了COBRE（UI）或仪器（BSU，ISU）奖，每个大学行政部门的大量物质支持，以及NIH和NSF研究奖的支持。特别是，UI COBRE（LJ Forney，PI）最近更新了五年，将为集群计算提供额外的处理能力。 生物信息学硬件和软件需求将在全州范围内进行优化，以教育和培训学生和教师进行最佳生物信息学实践，并提供专业的高性能计算。计划中的升级包括：在UI，电源、服务器和集群节点，增加磁盘存储容量，并将所有生物信息系统管理员转移到永久的爱达荷州工资;在ISU，计算节点和数据存储，并建立一个综合的生物信息学教学/研究设施;在BSU，集成了一个新的质谱仪和软件，增加了两个通用服务器，增加了数据存储容量，扩展集群计算能力，并在永久性州线上支持额外的工作人员。BSU还将通过利用INBRE基金与NSF仪器奖、机构支持和个人赠款中的服务费来显著加强其电信连接。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The Bioinformatics Core established technological and human resources that support biomedical research in Idaho. Bioinformatics is incorporated into activities at various levels on every Idaho campus as evidenced by separate INBRE bioinformatics budgets by most Network institutions. To maintain critical mass in three types of bioinformatics analyses used in "Cell Signaling" research, areas of emphasis will continue in (i) evolutionary analysis (UI), (ii) gene expression analysis (ISU), and (iii) protein structure analysis and proteomics (BSU). UI will host local databases and a distributed cluster computer for statistical modeling and phylogenetic estimation. ISU will host a distributed cluster computer and software tightly integrated with their high throughput sequencing facility. BSU will host a distributed cluster computer and software tightly integrated with their mass spectrometer facility. Each facility will be available to faculty and students in every state institution via high-speed telecommunications. The high-end computing hardware will remain available to all INBRE participants through secure internet connections and access to state-of-the art analytical software, and experts will provide specialized help as necessary. The facilities received COBRE (UI) or instrumentation (BSU, ISU) awards, substantial material support from each university administration, and support from individual NIH and NSF research awards. In particular, a UI COBRE (LJ Forney, PI), which was recently renewed for five years, will fund additional processing capacity for cluster computing. Bioinformatics hardware and software needs will be optimized statewide for educating and training students and faculty in best-bioinformatics-practices and providing access to specialized high performance computing. Planned upgrades include, at UI, power supplies, servers and cluster nodes, increase disk storage capacity, and transfer of all bioinformatics system administrators to permanent Idaho State salaries; at ISU, computing nodes and data storage and building an integrated bioinformatics teaching/research facility; at BSU, integrating a new mass spectrometer and software, adding two general-purpose servers, increasing data storage capacity, expanding cluster computing capacity, and supporting additional staff on a permanent state line. BSU will also significantly enhance its telecommunications connections by leveraging INBRE funds with NSF instrumentation awards, institutional support, and service fees in individual grants.
