The NHGRI Division of Intramural Research maintains a robust computational infrastructure for specialized research computing. These resources are provided to support the Division's broad program of genomic, bioinformatic, clinical, and behavioral research aimed at translating genomic and genetic research into a greater understanding of human genetic disease, as well as towards developing better methods for the detection, prevention, and treatment of heritable and genetic disorders. NHGRI/DIR maintains several high-end computer systems to support state-of-the-art computational sequence analysis, structure analysis, data visualization, and similar memory-intensive scientific computing requirements. The Division also provides significant computational support for its high-throughput research efforts in whole-genome sequencing, whole-genome association studies, clinical variant discovery, and similar types of genome-wide analyses. These approaches generate enormous amounts of data (on the order of terabytes) in a single run, thereby requiring strong database solutions, innovative storage and archiving strategies, and a reliable high-performance computing environment, one that can keep pace with the ever-increasing rate at which large-scale biological and biomedical data are being generated. NHGRI/DIR maintains an extensive suite of commercial and public domain software for handling the wide range of needs of NHGRI investigators. The list includes software for DNA and protein sequence analysis, molecular modeling, expression analysis (including single-cell analysis), pathway analysis, biostatistics, and the analysis of data being generated by whole-genome association studies. In addition, realizing the importance of providing NHGRI scientists with a robust database in support of their clinical research efforts, a Web-based and HIPAA-compliant database with an integrated pedigree viewer and SQL querying tool is made available to all NHGRI investigators conducting clinical protocols aimed at understanding the underlying mechanisms of a wide variety of human genetic disorders. This clinical database's functionality allows for the automated import of clinical laboratory data from the NIH Clinical Center's Clinical Research Information System (CRIS) data warehouse and from NIH's Biomedical Translation Research Information System (BTRIS).

NHGRI校内研究部为专业研究计算维护了强大的计算基础设施。这些资源用于支持该部门的基因组，生物信息学，临床和行为研究的广泛计划，旨在将基因组和遗传研究转化为对人类遗传疾病的更好理解，以及开发更好的检测，预防和治疗遗传性和遗传性疾病的方法。 NHGRI/NHGRI维护几个高端计算机系统，以支持最先进的计算序列分析，结构分析，数据可视化和类似的内存密集型科学计算要求。该司还为其全基因组测序、全基因组关联研究、临床变异发现和类似类型的全基因组分析的高通量研究工作提供重要的计算支持。这些方法在一次运行中生成大量数据（TB级），因此需要强大的数据库解决方案，创新的存储和归档策略以及可靠的高性能计算环境，一个可以跟上大规模生物和生物医学数据不断增长的速度的计算环境。 NHGRI/PNAS拥有一套广泛的商业和公共领域软件，用于处理NHGRI调查人员的各种需求。该列表包括用于DNA和蛋白质序列分析、分子建模、表达分析（包括单细胞分析）、途径分析、生物统计学以及全基因组关联研究产生的数据分析的软件。此外，意识到为NHGRI科学家提供强大的数据库以支持其临床研究工作的重要性，基于Web和符合HIPAA的数据库，具有集成的谱系查看器和SQL查询工具，可供所有NHGRI研究人员进行旨在了解各种人类遗传疾病的潜在机制的临床方案。该临床数据库的功能允许从NIH临床中心的临床研究信息系统（CRIS）数据仓库和NIH的生物医学翻译研究信息系统（BTRIS）自动导入临床实验室数据。
