生物信息学共享资源(BSR)为CSHL癌症中心成员提供生物信息学各方面的基本服务和技术支持。基因组时代对生物信息学的普遍需求使其成为癌症研究人员必不可少的工具。的目标是 BSR将使癌症中心成员能够获得最先进的生物信息学专业知识和支持。这包括咨询癌症中心成员，为他们的特定项目寻找最佳可用的生物信息学软件，以及为癌症中心成员开发新的工具和技术，这些成员的项目突破了目前可用的范围。未来五年，下一代 测序技术将给可以解决的科学问题带来革命性的变化。创建的大量数据也将需要增加对基本和高级生物信息学支持的需求。BSR正在积极规划支持这些大规模基因组学项目所需的计算基础设施。BSR的一个主要目标是开发复杂的软件 这些工具将使癌症中心成员能够在BSR工作人员的指导下自己执行大部分常规分析。然后，BSR成员可以将他们的咨询工作集中在更高级别的分析上，这通常需要为每个项目提供定制的方法。

The Bioinformatics Shared Resource (BSR) provides essential services and technical support for all aspects of bioinformatics for CSHL Cancer Center members. The pervasive need for Bioinformatics in the genomic era for all aspects of biological research makes it an essential tool for cancer researchers. The goal of the BSR is to give Cancer Center members access to state-of-the-art bioinformatics expertise and support. This includes consulting with Cancer Center members to find the best available bioinformatics software for their particular projects as well as developing new tools and techniques for Cancer Center members whose projects push the boundaries of what is currently available. Over the next five years, next-generation sequencing technology stands to revolutionize the scientific questions that can be addressed. The large volumes of data created will also necessitate an increased need for both basic and advanced bioinformatics support. The BSR is actively planning for the computational infrastructure that will be required to support these large-scale genomics projects. A major goal for the BSR is the development of sophisticated software tools that will enable Cancer Center members to perform much of the routine analysis themselves, under the guidance of BSR staff. BSR members can then focus their consulting efforts on the higher-level analyses, which often require a customized approach for each project.
