BIOINFORMATICS CORE

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 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。生物信息学被纳入爱达荷州每个校区不同级别的活动中，这从大多数网络机构单独编制的INBRE生物信息学预算中可见一斑。为了在“细胞信号”研究中使用的三种生物信息学分析中保持临界量，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一台分布式集群计算机，用于统计建模和系统发育评估。ISU将托管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。北卡罗来纳州立大学将托管一台分布式集群计算机和软件，与他们的质谱仪设施紧密集成。 每个设施都将通过高速电信向每个州立机构的教职员工和学生开放。所有INBRE参与者将通过安全的互联网连接和使用最先进的分析软件继续使用高端计算硬件，专家将在必要时提供专门帮助。这些设施获得了科布雷(UI)或仪器(BSU，ISU)奖，来自每个大学管理部门的大量物质支持，以及来自NIH和NSF研究奖项的单独支持。特别是，最近续订了五年的UI Cobre(LJ Forney，PI)将为集群计算提供额外的处理能力。 生物信息学的硬件和软件需求将在全州范围内进行优化，以便在最佳生物信息学实践方面教育和培训学生和教职员工，并提供获得专业高性能计算的途径。计划中的升级包括：在伊利诺伊州立大学，增加电源、服务器和集群节点，增加磁盘存储容量，将所有生物信息学系统管理员转移到爱达荷州政府永久薪金；在执行支助股，计算节点和数据存储，并建立一个综合生物信息学教学/研究设施；在北卡罗来纳大学，整合新的质谱仪和软件，增加两台通用服务器，增加数据存储能力，扩大集群计算能力，并在永久州专线上支持更多工作人员。北卡罗来纳州立大学还将通过利用INBRE基金、NSF仪器奖、机构支持和个人赠款中的服务费来显著增强其电信联系。

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.
