## Abstract

ANALYTICAL & TRANSLATIONAL GENOMICS SHARED RESOURCE 
ABSTRACT 
The UNMCC Analytical and Translational Genomics (Genomics) Shared Resource (formerly the UNMCC Keck- 
UNM Genomics Resource) supports basic and translational cancer research by providing cost-effective, full 
service next-generation sequencing (NGS) and data analysis, microarray, real-time PCR and other genomics- 
related technologies, including the genomic analysis of patient samples, to UNMCC members and non-member 
users. Faculty Director Scott Ness, Ph.D. supervises the Resource, which is operated by a full time staff including 
experienced wet lab research technicians plus a team performing initial bioinformatics and data analysis. The 
UNMCC Research Administration manages the Resource. During the previous funding period the Resource 
underwent a major transition from primarily providing microarray-based assays to a new emphasis on NGS 
services including targeted (e.g. gene panel) sequencing and exome sequencing as well as RNA-seq and ChIP- 
seq using its Ion Torrent and Ion Proton sequencing instruments. The Resource maintains a dedicated mini- 
cluster for storage of large data sets and to promote the integrated bioinformatics analyses of NGS data. The 
next generation sequencing services complement the existing services provided through its established 
Affymetrix instruments and with quantitative real-time PCR assays. The Resource performs initial processing 
and detailed analysis of microarray and NGS data for users, utilizing sophisticated statistical tools and software 
packages and adhering to strict quality control guidelines, and interacts with the Biostatistics Shared Resource 
and the Bioinformatics and High Dimensional Data Analysis Shared Resource to provide users with a complete 
range of services from detailed experimental design through advanced bioinformatics and statistical data 
analysis. Reservations, billing and usage are tracked through a centralized on-line system. The Resource 
Director and staff work closely with UNMCC research programs to develop new methodologies that promote 
innovative basic and translational research goals and the Resource actively facilitates and disseminates 
information about new genomics technologies and data analysis techniques by maintaining an up-to-date web 
page, organizing monthly meetings focused on translational genomics and bioinformatics and by giving 
presentations at UNMCC meetings and retreats. During the previous 5-yr project period, 33 UNMCC members 
from 3 UNMCC Research Programs used the Resource, resulting in a total of 32 publications, of which 4 are 
presently pending PMCIDs. In the reporting year of July 2013 – June 2014, UNMCC members were responsible 
for 88% of total Resource usage and were supported by 109 peer-reviewed grants.
