## Abstract

ABSTRACT – BIOANALYTIC AND ADMINISTRATION CORE 
This P01 renewal application is in response to RFA, HD-16-009 from the NICHD Institute of NIH. The 
scientific goal of the Bio-analytics and Administrative Core is to provide analytical and administrative 
oversight for the P01. The Bio-analytics Component of the Core is designed to oversee and standardize the 
bioinformatic and statistical genetics approaches of all three projects. The importance of data analysis is 
key to the success of the program, and based upon the large amount of data that exists and will be 
generated, analysis is perhaps the most important part. Project 3 will generate a gene network important in 
the embryonic precursor to the aortic arch and cardiac outflow tract. It is termed the pharyngeal apparatus 
integrative network, or PA-INet. Project 3 will generate and the Core will house additional biologically 
relevant gene-sets that both Projects 1 and 2 will utilize to analyze genetics data. It is necessary that all 
three projects are on the same page, analyzing the same data, so as to maximize cross comparisons. This 
is why it is important to have a specific Core to handle this. Further, the same can be said for the 
biostatistical analysis. Although Project 1 uses primarily a case-control design and Project 2 uses a family 
based design, the types of data (SNP genotyping arrays; whole exome sequencing) are similar, as are the 
bioinformatic approaches. The analysis of data and available tools with databases, especially for 
uncovering the function of noncoding DNA variants are rapidly changing at this time, when whole genome 
sequencing is emerging as the main type of genetic data to be generated to understand the basis of human 
disease. The Core will be at the forefront of implementation of new software tools and datasets so as to 
ensure that the three projects continue to take advantage of new knowledge. It is also important to train the 
next generation of scientists, for which this P01 takes very seriously. The internal advisory team will make 
all efforts to train students and postdoctoral fellows in the area of human genetics and animal model studies 
of human structural birth defects. The Administrative Component of the Core will oversee the organization, 
make sure that the work is going optimally and will intervene via internal advisory teams as per expertise 
needed. Since the three groups are located in New York City, Philadelphia and Houston, the Administrative 
Component will oversee all interactive meetings and house 3-4 face-to-face meetings per year. This 
Component will also be in charge of finances, IRB progress reports and animal protocols of the P01.
