Computational Facility

Computational genomics is the application of statistical analysis to the vast arrays of data generated by structural and functional genomics research. Even the smallest plant genome is comprised of over
100,000,000 base pairs of DNA. Extracting useful information from this large amount of sequence data requires significant computational ability and sophisticated analysis algorithms.

GOALS

  • Identification and development of statistical tools necessary for success of functional genomics.
  • Provide an atmosphere of open communication between computational and functional genomics.
  • Linking internal scientific discovery with external resources.

The Genomics Database Facility is a centralized service for the database needs of the Purdue University genomics community. The GDF compliments the existing Core Laboratory Facility (data generation), and provides support for informatics needs associated with large scale projects. A microarray database service is available free of charge, and standard information management needs that fall within the existing capabilities of the system are available without additional charge. Should we need additional bioinformatics tools to be developed, we have Bioinformatics specialists (Damion Junk, Doug Yatcilla and Rick Westerman) available for work and can be paid according to the work delivered. Read more details about the facility.

Purdue University genomics faculty have access to three Sun Enterprise 450E servers (four processors each), printing services, and conference areas. The computers are part of the Genomics Core Facility at Purdue and are available for use without additional charge. The newest server is two years old and the oldest is four years old. The software on the servers include SAS, SPlus, R, Java, and Perl. A complete list of software is available.
