## Abstract

Bioinformatics Core - Abstract
During our initial funding periods, the NV INBRE Bioinformatics Core supported research investigating Cell
Growth and Differentiation by providing sound experimental design and statistical analysis of basic biomedical
and clinical experiments; analysis of whole-genome and whole-transcriptome next-generation sequencing
data, proteomic data, microarray data; computational resources and infrastructure. The Core will continue to
provide resources and services supporting experimental design, statistical analysis of basic science and
clinical studies, analysis of proteomic data, pathway analysis, genome-wide association studies, and
generation and analysis of next-generation sequencing data. In this renewal, the Core will grow to support the
design and analysis of more advanced clinical studies, including a new initiative to support more sophisticated
disease association studies based on whole-genome sequencing and SNP chip technology. In addition, The
Core will develop and implement a strong and diverse statewide Bioinformatics Outreach and Training
Program to teach, train, and mentor undergraduate students in our Outreach Institutions to incorporate Big
Data into biomedical research. This program will include 1) Bioinformatics Research Experiences offering
on-site training sessions for undergraduates at the Outreach Institutions to provide hands-on, one-on-one
tutoring and training in the use of tools and approaches relevant to their bioinformatics classroom topics or
research, 2) Bioinformatics Workshops focusing on tools to analyze genomic, environmental, medical,
economic, and social network data, and tools to examine them, and 3) Big Data Analytics Training Modules
in which students will learn basic approaches to combining large datasets from complex databases.
