Biostatistics & Genomics Core

这个核心的总体目标是为我们的JLS和其他杜兰大学提供设备和专业知识 这将使他们成为更有效率的调查人员。这将提供 赋予我们的调查人员能力，使他们能够有效地与其他调查人员竞争，或者 理想情况下，允许他们更有效地进行实验，或者在其他地方进行甚至不可能的实验 机构。杜兰老龄中心的核心设施是一个不断发展的实体。我们不打算这样做 在杜兰的其他位置随时可以访问的重复仪器，或提供以下资源 更容易为我们部门的本地调查人员所用。基因组学核心是一个现有的单位 由雅兹温斯基博士放置在核心的设备锻造而成，由大学直接购买。这个 LLUMINA珠台是核心中的唯一仪器，为遗传和 基因表达分析。我们的JL对DNA测序、基因分型和基因有广泛的需求 此核心可以满足的表达式分析服务。他们还需要生物信息学和 生物统计学支持分析他们的数据。我们在研究核心中支持这两种需求。我们的 具体目标是： 1.为DNA测序、基因表达提供访问、培训、维护和技术支持 分析，以及高通量的基因分型和基因表达服务是我们的核心，基于 我们的教职员工可以使用高质量的仪器。 2.为我们的调查人员提供生物信息学和生物统计学支持，以分析他们的数据 在我们的核心设施中进行采购。

The overall goal of this core is to make equipment and expertise available to our Jls and other Tulane Center for Aging members that will allow them to be more productive investigators. This will provide capabilities to our investigators that either allows them to compete effectively with other investigators, or ideally allows them to carry out experiments more efficiently, or that are even not possible, at other institutions. The core facilities at the Tulane Center for Aging are an evolving entity. We do not intend to duplicate instrumentation readily accessible at other locations at Tulane or to provide resources that are more easily available to our investigators locally in their departments. The genomics core is an existing unit forged from equipment placed in the core by Dr. Jazwinski and purchased directly by the university. The lllumina Bead Station is the unique instrument in the Core that provides important capabilities for genetic and gene expression analyses. Our Jl's have broad based needs for DNA sequencing, genotyping, and gene expression analysis services that can be met by this core. They also need the bioinformatics and biostatistics support to analyze their data. We support both of these needs in our research core. Our specific aims are: 1. To provide access, training, maintenance, and technical support for DNA sequencing, gene expression analysis, and high-throughput genotyping and gene expression services in our core, based on the high quality instrumentation available to our faculty. 2. To provide bioinformatics and biostatistics support to our investigators for analysis of the data they acquire in our core facility.
