## Abstract

Genomics and Biostatistics Core 
SUMMARY 
 The objective of the Genomics and Biostatistics Core of this COBRE is to support and to enhance the 
research productivity of our junior investigators, as well as that of non-COBRE investigators. This is measured 
by our contributions to their peer-reviewed publications and grant applications. Our clients utilize our services 
at the study planning and design phase, as well as during the data analysis phase. We provide a variety of 
data acquisition services, including Sanger sequencing, flow cytometry, and nucleic acid quantitation and 
quality control, among others. Importantly, we have brought to researchers at out institution next-generation 
sequencing capability. We offer RNA-sequencing, miRNA-sequencing, whole-exome sequencing and 
exosome sequencing. In Phase II, these offerings will be expanded to include ChIP-sequencing and 
AmpliSeq. Our enhanced instrumentation and expanded personnel will make this possible, and this will help 
satiate the ever-increasing appetite for all of these applications. In addition, we are putting in place the 
validation of cell lines and animals for our investigators. Our new data analytic facilities in Phase II will allow 
our clients to receive data that is not only clean and valid quantitatively but also has been put through a 
bioinformatics pipeline that makes it relevant biologically in broader terms. The biostatistics component 
provided by this Core will continue to support sound study design and powering of experiments, as well as the 
utilization of appropriate statistical tools in data analysis. Both the biostatistics and bioinformatics components 
of this Core will contribute to the development of new and better approaches to the handling of the data our 
investigators generate.
