INBRE: BIOINFORMATICS CORE

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。这个生物信息学核心将建立在BRIN项目所取得的进展的基础上，以创建和扩展基础设施，并为网络研究人员提供生物信息学工具。在BRIN期间提供的生物信息学工具将增加额外的许可和开源工具。支持这一系列工具的计算基础设施将大大增加。此外，该核心的培训计划将大大扩展，以涵盖核心将提供的新工具和基础设施。由于资源的重新分配，在向网络调查人员提供培训和指导方面将有更大程度的专家支助。生物信息学核心还将利用其他机构资助的南卡罗来纳大学、南卡罗来纳医科大学和克莱姆森大学正在进行的具有协同潜力的其他外展活动，以最大限度地提高总体努力的效率。我们还将与克拉夫林大学和弗曼大学密切合作，共同开发他们最近资助的生物信息学项目。

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. This Bioinformatics Core will build on the progress made by the BRIN program to create and expand infrastructure and provide bioinformatics tools for network investigators. The repertoire of bioinformatics tools that were made available during BRIN will be augmented with additional licensed and open source tools. The computational infrastructure to support this range of tools will be substantially increased. In addition, the training program for this core will be greatly expanded relative to cover the new tools and infrastructure that the core will provide. As a consequence of reallocation of resources, there will be a greater degree of expert support in terms of training and mentoring made available to the network investigators. The Bioinformatics Core will also leverage other ongoing outreach activities with synergistic potential at the University of South Carolina, Medical University of South Carolina and Clemson University funded by other agencies to maximize the effectiveness of the aggregate effort. We will also work closely with Claflin and Furman Universities in the development of their recently-funded bioinformatics programs.
