Cluster A: 4 Bioinformatics

HCCC的生物信息学共享资源(BSR)满足了从服务到 寻求利用大量数据和分析工具的HCCC成员。对BSR的持续需求是 从寻求BSR服务和合作的HCCC调查人员的数量可以看出这一点。BSR人员 积极参与NCI生物医学信息学和信息技术中心(CBIIT)和 国家癌症信息学计划(NCIP)活动。这有助于他们帮助HCCC成员的能力 从其他癌症中心寻找可能会加强他们自己研究的工具。用户界面最近制作了 大量投资发展信息学教师和基础设施，使其具有补充 HCCC的需求。BSR维护一系列计算硬件和软件，以及 需要人力专业知识来支持HCCC成员设计需要先进技术的实验 分析基因组数据集，支持部署和使用现有信息学工具，以及定制 增强现有工具以满足其需求。BSR与UI生物信息学中心和 计算生物学(CBCB)以及爱荷华州人类遗传学研究所(IIHG)提供了一个渠道 在不同的专业知识、工具和寻求开发新的翻译的相关生物信息学研究之间 研究策略。

The Bioinformatics Shared Resource (BSR) of the HCCC meets an ever-expanding need from for services to HCCC members who seek to utilize large-volume data and analytical tools. The ongoing need for the BSR is evident from the number of HCCC investigators seeking BSR services and collaboration. BSR personnel actively participate in the NCI's Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT) and National Cancer informatics Program (NCIP) activities. This facilitates their ability to help HCCC members identify tools from other cancer centers that may enhance their own research. The UI has made recent substantial investment in developing Informatics faculty and infrastructure with capabilities that complement the needs of the HCCC. The BSR maintains a collection of computing hardware and software, as well as the human expertise needed to support HCCC members in the design of experiments which require advanced analysis of genomic datasets, support in the deployment and use of existing informatics tools, and custom augmentation of existing tools to meet their needs. The BSR partners with the UI Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (CBCB), as well as the Iowa Institute for Human Genetics (IIHG), to provide a conduit between diverse expertise, tools, and related bioinformatics research seeking to develop new translational research strategies.
