ACHS provides software and technical support for Bioinformatics and Computational Molecular Biology.
The Bioinformatics Core is a part of Information Technology and Communications – Academic Computing Health Sciences (ITC-ACHS), a research computing support group whose primary mission is to provide Health and Life-Sciences researchers at the University of Virginia with access to high performance computing equipment, and specialized software packages and expertise to support advanced computational approaches to biological and clinical data analysis. The Bioinformatics Core in ITC-ACHS provides infrastructure, data management, analysis, and interpretive support for Expression (Affymetrix data) and Genome (Illumina gene sequencing) Bioinformatics on a cost recovery basis. Moreover, the ITC-ACHS/Bioinformatics core seeks to identify computing needs for Research Cores, Departments and groups of users that takes advantage of our expertise in Bioinformatics software, sequence analysis pipelines, and data management.
The ITC-ACHS/Bioinformatics Core services are in transition. The services outlined in this document are expected to be in place by July, 2009. Costs for basic services (Affymetrix data archiving, initial Genome Analyser sequence maps) will be bundled with charges from the Biomolecular Research Facility/DNA Sciences Core). Supplemental services, such as reformatting and DNA submission to DNA repositories; presentation of data on interactive Web sites will be billed directly.
