Babraham Bioinformatics
Location:
Just outside Cambridge, UK.
Name/Title: Simon Andrews
Links:
Babraham Bioinformatics Public site
Babraham Institute Site
Group size:
4 permanent staff. 3 bioinformaticians and 1 statistician.
Environment:
The Babraham Insitute is a government funded academic research institute. We have around 400 research scientists in around 10 major laboratories.
Tools:
We support a wide variety of tools in all areas of bioinformatics. We are a mixed computing environment so most things we support are cross platform. Where possible we use existing tools but we develop our own where necessary.
Pertinent hardware info:
We have 6 main servers, all running linux. These provide many different bioinformatics and database services both to the group and to the scientisits on site.
Training:
We offer a full training programme to our scientists. All courses are short (half day or less) and are written and presented in house. Our current course list is:
- Sequence analysis with VectorNTI
- Effective database searching
- Exploring Ensembl
- Making use of comparative genomics
- Running and analysing microarray experiments
- Sequence assembly using Staden
- Statistical analysis using SPSS
- Using the bioinformatics tools at NCBI
- Viewing protein 3D structures using Deep View
- Learning to program with Perl (8 week course)
Bioinformatics support model:
We are an open door service available to all researchers on site.
Funding model:
We are self-supporting via chargebacks to our users
