The LSI bioinformatics core supports biological research through applied bioinformatics and education - in other words, analyzing data with existing codes and helping researchers learn how to do their own analyses. Researchers, PIs, and trainees are encouraged to seek advice at any stage of their experiments, including planning and data analysis.
The fee structure will be kept up-to-date, and the expected cost of each analysis will be communicated before starting the work.
(WGS, RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, etc.)
(56 threads, 512 Gb of RAM)
* Low fees will be collected from the attendees of core-led workshops, primarily to ensure a commitment to attend. It is expected that these fees will be paid from research grants.
Publications using work performed by the core should acknowledge the core or include specific members of the core as co-authors depending on the contribution level.
