## Abstract

The Bioinformatics Shared Resource (BSR) of the HCCC meets an ever-expanding need from for services to 
HCCC members who seek to utilize large-volume data and analytical tools. The ongoing need for the BSR is 
evident from the number of HCCC investigators seeking BSR services and collaboration. BSR personnel 
actively participate in the NCI's Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT) and 
National Cancer informatics Program (NCIP) activities. This facilitates their ability to help HCCC members 
identify tools from other cancer centers that may enhance their own research. The UI has made recent 
substantial investment in developing Informatics faculty and infrastructure with capabilities that complement the 
needs of the HCCC. The BSR maintains a collection of computing hardware and software, as well as the 
human expertise needed to support HCCC members in the design of experiments which require advanced 
analysis of genomic datasets, support in the deployment and use of existing informatics tools, and custom 
augmentation of existing tools to meet their needs. The BSR partners with the UI Center for Bioinformatics and 
Computational Biology (CBCB), as well as the Iowa Institute for Human Genetics (IIHG), to provide a conduit 
between diverse expertise, tools, and related bioinformatics research seeking to develop new translational 
research strategies.
