Tools: principally NGS sequence analysis: Alignment, variant detection, expression levels/ differential expression.  Exome-Seq, RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, methylation (RRBS), gene array panels, de novo assembly, metagenomics, metatranscriptomics.

Pertinent hardware info: unix based servers, access to cluster computing

Training: We only train through seminars.  We are planning on developing hands-on workshops and perhaps individualized training models.

Bioinformatics support model:  Primarily supported by Recharge for services.  Also through support by the UMMS Office of Research.
