## Abstract

BIOINFORMATICS & HIGH-DIMENSIONAL DATA ANALYSIS SHARED RESOURCE 
ABSTRACT 
Recent years have seen enormous growth in the complexity and importance of high-dimensional data and the 
specialized methods and skills required for its successful analysis and integration. To address this emerging 
need, and to address previous critiques, the Bioinformatics and High-Dimensional Data Analysis Shared 
Resource (Bioinformatics) was developed by consolidating informatics components that were previously 
distributed in Biostatistics and three other shared resources, forming a data analysis-focused Resource with 
broadened scope, enhanced expertise and expanded capabilities. The reorganized Resource provides state-of- 
the-art informatics and data analysis for genomics, cheminformatics, image analysis and other complex 
problems. Faculty Director Jeremy Edwards, PhD (CGEG) is a genomics and bioinformatics expert and co- 
Directors Tudor Oprea, MD,PhD (CT) and Keith Lidke, PhD (TCBS) lead the cheminformatics and image 
analysis components of the Resource, respectively. The reorganized Resource is now well positioned to promote 
interdisciplinary research and to develop innovative and significant methodologies in cancer research. The 
Resource works closely with the other Shared Resources that generate large, complex data sets and with the 
faculty in the Biostatistics Shared Resource who provide complementary expertise. The Resource Directors 
collaborate with users to design experiments, develop new methods for data analysis and interpretation, to 
integrate therapeutic knowledge and to assist with grant writing and data processing for publications. The 
Resource maintains its own specialized computational resources, appropriate databases and software for 
accomplishing its diverse goals. It also works closely with UNMCC Research Programs to develop and integrate 
new methodologies into research projects, and actively facilitates and disseminates information about new 
approaches and data analysis techniques by maintaining an up-to-date web page, promoting training and 
education related to high-dimensional data collection and analysis and by giving presentations at UNMCC 
meetings and retreats. The UNM Cancer Center Research Administration (CCRA) manages the Resource, which 
operates through a collaborative model. During the previous 5-yr project period, 16 UNMCC members from all 4 
Research Programs used the bioinformatics component of the former Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Shared 
Resource, resulting in a total of 10 publications (2 have pending PMCIDs). In the reporting year of July 2013 – 
June 2014, 16 UNMCC members were responsible for 100% of total Resource usage and were supported by 7 
peer-reviewed grants. However, another 18 UNMCC members, supported by 14 more grants and responsible 
for 18 additional peer-reviewed publications, were supported by bioinformatics components in 3 other shared 
resources, which have now been consolidated. Conseque...
