WV-INBRE: MU & WVU BIOINFORMATICS CORE

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 生物信息学核心支持获得序列和结构分析所需的软件和硬件工具，并提供这些领域的培训。此外，生物信息学核心正在为西弗吉尼亚大学蛋白质组学核心设施(在信号转导和癌症中心下建立)提供生物信息学分析支持。 生物信息学在过去一年的具体活动包括： (1)在马歇尔大学组织和主办生物信息学研讨会：NCBI工具，7月11日至12日。这次研讨会的特色是Steve Pechous博士和Eric Sayer Entrez博士介绍的3门迷你课程-基因快速入门和理解DNA和蛋白质序列(7月11日)，以及使用NCBI工具探索3D分子结构(7月12日)。有22名参与者，包括墨尔本大学教职员工、研究助理和WV-INBRE暑期实习生。 (2)今年秋天，西弗吉尼亚州立大学试行了一门两小时的课程，名为生物信息学101：生物信息学工具入门。这门课程重点介绍了网上可用的生物信息学工具，包括门户网站、相似性搜索、基因预测和蛋白质结构。本课程通过动手演示、习题集作业和考试(带回家)授课。 (3)生物信息学核心主管戴维斯博士参加了3月4日至7日举行的美国人类蛋白质组学组织年会和蛋白质组学数据分析的会前研讨会。 (4)戴维斯博士还参加了3月8日至9日举行的新墨西哥州生物信息学研讨会。

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. The Bioinformatics Core supports access to software and hardware tools needed for sequence and structure analysis and provides training in these areas. In addition, the Bioinformatics Core is providing bioinformatics analysis support for the WVU Proteomics Core facility (established under the Signal Transduction and Cancer COBRE). The specific activities of the Bioinformatics during the past year include the following: (1) organizing and hosting the Bioinformatics Workshop: NCBI tools at Marshall University, July 11-12. Features of this workshop were 3 minicourses presented by Drs. Steve Pechous and Eric Sayer  Entrez-Gene QuickStart and Making Sense of DNA and Protein Sequences (July 11), and Exploring 3D Molecular Structures Using NCBI Tools (July 12). There were 22 participants, including MU faculty members, research associates and WV-INBRE summer interns. (2) A two-hour course piloted this fall at WVU called Bioinformatics 101: An Introduction to Bioinformatics Tools. This course focused on bioinformatics tools available on the web, including portals, similarity searching, gene prediction, and protein structure. The course was taught by hands-on demo, problem set assignments, and exams (take-home). (3) The Bioinformatics Core director, Dr. Davis, participated in the annual meeting of the US Human Proteomics Organisation and pre-meeting workshops on proteomics data analysis, March 4-7. (4) Dr. Davis also attended the New Mexico Bioinformatics Symposium Mar 8-9.
