iBIS

UM’s online Bioinformatics Integrated Services portal

iBIS is our bioinformatics portal that includes links to genomic databases, protein structure databases, clinical genetics databases, as well as numerous software tools for the analysis of gene expression, gene regulation, signaling and metabolic pathways, genomics, proteomics, and systems biology. In addition, the portal allows access to a suite of locally available tools and databases that we maintain on CCS’s HPC servers. The portal offers online tutorials for the major databases and web tools, and the CCS Bioinformatics team provide regular training workshops for new users.

 

NGS-Wiki

 

The Next Generation Sequencing Wiki (NGS-Wiki) is a shared resource for short read assembly and analysis tools developed by the Center for Computational Science for the University of Miami

 

Bioinformatics Data Analysis

Consulting
Small scale analysis that takes a maximum of four (4) hours total to complete

Basic Data Analysis
Analysis of basic data sets using commonly utilized bioinformatics software tools.

Advanced Data Analysis
Analysis of more complex data sets or more advanced analysis of basic data sets. Includes the use of highly specialized bioinformatics software tools

Expert Data Analysis
Expert analysis of basic or complex data sets using highly specialized bioinformatics software tools

High Dimensional and Integrative Data Analysis
Analysis of high dimensional data sets that typically involve more than one data source. Includes the use of highly specialized bioinformatics software tools

Bioinformatics Scripting
Small to medium scale scripting to help establish a pipeline or analytical method in a lab

Bioinformatics Tool Development
Complete specialized bioinformatics tool development (such as iBIS and AQWA)

Organizational Analysis Tool Development
Development of a new analysis tool that involved integration and interfaces feeding data into available software

 

The analyses are undertaken by our skilled analysts, and overseen by our experienced faculty. We have been working mostly with microarray data and next generation sequencing data, and our analytical services include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

  • Gene expression analysis for transcriptome profiling and/or gene regulatory network building,

  • microRNA target analysis,

  • genome or transcriptome assembly from next generation sequencing data, and its visualization,

  • SNP functionality analysis,

  • other projects include merging or correlating data from various data types for a holistic view of a particular pathway or disease process.
