Shared Resources - Bioinformatics

项目总结(见说明)： 生物信息学在癌症研究中发挥着越来越重要的作用，从癌症遗传学的基本评估延伸到翻译和临床研究。它还在连接以前被认为是独立的癌症研究领域以及协助其他共享资源方面发挥着重要作用 在共享和利用大量数据方面。HCCC生物信息学共享资源的使命是支持HCCC临床、基础和人口科学家的信息学需求。这一共享资源具有收集和利用大规模数据集的专业知识，包括分子分析 致所有HCCC成员。这样的使用很少是终端用户部署现有软件工具的简单事情，因此，这种共享资源的工作人员将在实验设计的整个阶段帮助调查人员，并与调查人员和其他共享研究资源合作，例如DNA核心和 生物统计学在数据分析和解释方面的核心。生物信息学共享资源员工拥有重新开发软件工具或使现有工具适应定制设置的专业知识。

PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions): Bioinformatics is playing an increasingly important role in cancer research extending from basic evaluation of cancer genetics through translational and clinical research. It is also playing an important role in connecting fields of cancer research that were previously thought to be separate, and to assisting other shared resources in sharing and utilizing large volumes of data. The mission of the HCCC Bioinformatics Shared Resource is to support the informatics needs of the clinical, basic and population scientists of the HCCC. This shared resource has the expertise to collect and utilize large-scale data sets, including molecular assays, is available to all HCCC members. Such uses are rarely a simple matter of deploying an existing software tool by the end user, thus the staff of this shared resource will assist investigators throughout the phases of experiment design and collaborate with the investigator and other shared research resources such as the DNA core and Biostatistics Core in data analysis and interpretation. Bioinformatics Shared Resource staff have the expertise to develop software tools de novo or to adapt existing tools to custom settings.
