Purpose

Bioinformatics is at the interface between biology, informatics, and mathematics. Using methods from computer science, we analyze and interpret biological data in the form of gene sequences and cellular proteins, contributing new knowledge about the functioning of cells and living organisms.

To DERC investigators, the Bioinformatics Core provides help and support in storing, visualizing, and analyzing biological data.

Services  

  • Microarray and proteomics experimental design, data acquisition, management and analysis
  • Analysis of microarray experiments
  • Data mining and integration with public data resources
  • Statistical genetics and SNP analysis
  • Analysis pipeline scripting
  • Analysis of promoter sequences for transcription factor binding sites
  • Comparative genomics
  • Life science focused web-based database development

Fees

(DERC members have priority in obtaining core services.  Note that acknowledgement of the use of DERC Scientific Core resources is required in any resultant publication, paper, or presentation.)
