Bioinformatics

The Nevada Bioinformatics Cores at UNR and UNLV provide researchers with access to state-of-the-art computational resources for transcriptomic, proteomic, DNA/protein sequence data collection and analysis, database creation and stewardship, and data mining for bioinformatics research. The core also supports molecular modeling research by providing computer graphics hardware, software and technical support for studies based on biomolecular structures and interactions. This center provides support for all interested researchers, particularly those who make heavy use of the Nevada Genomics Center and the Nevada Proteomics Center. The core also provides education and training that introduces researchers to new technologies in bioinformatics. The long-term goals of the Bioinformatics Cores include the development of robust bioinformatics resources to coordinate integrative studies along the continuum of genomic, mRNA and protein expression, protein structure, and metabolite profiling studies to provide a deeper understanding of the function of biological systems.

Investigators using INBRE facilities, services or resources are required to cite NIH Grant Number P20 RR-016464 from the INBRE Program of the National Center for Research Resources in all publications and presentations.

Bioinformatics Core Users - We need your pub citations!

The Bioinformatics Core receives financial support from the Nevada INBRE, a program sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Nevada INBRE partner faculty and students who give presentations (including posters) and/or publish their work on projects funded wholly or in part by INBRE funds are asked to acknowledge this support. Grant citation information.

Consulting and Collaborative Resources

As part of the INBRE mission to provide to Nevada faculty and students with infrastructure enabling investigators to win research funding, support and training for new projects are available free of charge. Post-award collaborative opportunities are also available.

The Center for Bioinformatics kindly requests that researchers allow for at least two weeks for the Center to process analysis requests, and one week to process letters of support.
