CRI: Computational Biology Facility for Western Massachusetts

摘要计划：NSF 04-588简明计算研究基础设施标题：CRI：马萨诸塞州西部计算生物学设施建议：CNS 0551401PI：布罗克，奥利弗研究所：马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校的研究人员将获得一个计算机集群，用于生物信息学研究和计算生物学研究，支持马萨诸塞州西部的研究人员。研究将集中在寻求理解基于遗传序列信息的蛋白质功能确定的五个研究领域。这些项目连接了计算机科学和分子生物学，以找到发现功能映射的计算方法。该项目将在校园内提供这些资源，并鼓励在马萨诸塞州西部的五所学院使用这些资源，建立在2005年成立的地区计算生物学特别兴趣小组的基础上。研究人员将通过东北研究生教育联盟和教授联盟以及与少数族裔在职人员和妇女学院和大学的合作，积极从代表性不足的群体中招收学生。

AbstractProgram: NSF 04-588 CISE Computing Research InfrastructureTitle: CRI: Computational Biology Facility for Western MassachusettsProposal: CNS 0551401PI: Brock, OliverInstitution: University of Massachusetts AmherstResearchers at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst will acquire a computer cluster for research in bioinformatics and computational biology research supporting researchers in Western Massachusetts. Research will focus on five research areas that seek to understand protein function determination based on genetic sequence information. The projects bridge computer science and molecular biology to find computational methods to discover the mappings to functions. The project will make these resources available on campus and encourage use in the Five Colleges of Western Massachusetts building on a regional Computational Biology Special Interest Group established in 2005. The researchers will actively recruit students from underrepresented groups through the Northeast Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate and collaborations with minority serving and womens colleges and universities.
