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: 
<ul>
<li>Sequence analysis with VectorNTI</li>
<li>Effective database searching</li>
<li>Exploring Ensembl</li>
<li>Making use of comparative genomics</li>
<li>Running and analysing microarray experiments</li>
<li>Sequence assembly using Staden</li>
<li>Statistical analysis using SPSS</li>
<li>Using the bioinformatics tools at NCBI</li>
<li>Viewing protein 3D structures using Deep View</li>
<li>Learning to program with Perl (8 week course)</li>
</ul>
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
