## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract – ANALYTICAL & TRANSLATIONAL GENOMICS
The Analytical and Translational Genomics (Genomics) Shared Resource supports basic and translational 
cancer research by providing UNMCCC members with cost-effective, full service next-generation sequencing 
(NGS), single-cell sequencing and initial data analysis, plus assistance with functional genomics assays and 
other genomics-related technologies. Faculty Director Scott Ness, Ph.D. (CMO) supervises the Resource, which 
uses a chargeback model and is operated by a full-time staff including experienced wet lab research technicians 
and a bioinformatics expert who interfaces with the Bioinformatics Shared Resource. The Genomics Resource
provides several types of NGS services including RNA-seq and ChIP-seq as well as targeted (e.g. gene panel) 
DNA sequencing using its Ion Proton S5/XL sequencing instrument as well as coordinating with outside partners
for larger Illumina sequencing projects. The Genomics Resource maintains a secure cloud-based computing 
infrastructure for storage of large data sets and to facilitate the integrated bioinformatics analyses of NGS data. 
The Genomics Resource performs initial processing and detailed analysis of NGS data for users, utilizing 
sophisticated statistical tools and software packages and adhering to strict quality control guidelines. Through 
interactions with the Biostatistics Shared Resource and the Bioinformatics Shared Resource, the Genomics 
Resource provides 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 the 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 and by giving presentations at UNMCCC meetings and retreats. During the 
previous 5-yr project period, 44 UNMCCC members from all 3 Research Programs used the Resource. They 
were supported by 82 peer-reviewed grants and produced 34 cancer-focused publications that cited the 
Resource. In the reporting year of July 2019 – June 2020, the CCSG provided 17% of the Resource budget and 
UNMCCC members were responsible for 86% of total Resource usage.
