Focus

The aim of the Bioinformatics/Biostatistics Analysis Support Hub (B/BASH) is to provide dedicated support for bioinformatic and biostatistical analyses, as a service to College researchers. This support is available from the study planning and design stages through to data analysis.

Example projects and Publications

The problem

The need for analysis support is ever growing: high throughput biological data generation technologies (Next Generation DNA sequencing, high density genotyping, transcriptomics and proteomics) are increasingly generating acute bottlenecks at the data analysis stage.

The solution

Dedicated staff with a wide range of experience are available to advise, plan and execute bioinformatics/biostatistics analyses. Our staff will work with you to advise on the best experimental approaches, data analysis pipelines and the preparation of the research for publication. We can provide all necessary computational and storage infrastructure.

The deal

Hub staff can be tasked for standalone analyses at hourly rates or a proportion of their time can be 'bought out' for more lengthy projects, pro rata on a cost recovery basis. Writing analysis costs into grant proposals, with advice from Hub staff, is an efficient way to secure these services and make your grant proposal look better! 

Analysis Areas

Areas we can assist with include:

• Microarray / transcriptomics data analysis
• High throughput sequencing data analysis
• Large scale genotyping analysis
• Proteomics data analysis
• Experimental design
• Biostatistical analysis
• Programmatic / informatic data analysis and storage solutions
