CHGR - Computational Genomics Core

The Center for Human Genetics Research (CHGR) Computational Genomics Core provides software and hardware support for computing activities related to genetics and biology, as well as statistical analysis for human genetics data generated from both microsatellite markers and SNPs. Bioinformatics support, resources, and expertise are available in storing and managing demographic, clinical, genotypic, microarray, proteomic and biospecimen data. This core also provides the necessary database structures and development expertise to assist a wide variety of projects. Consulting services are available to researchers in the following areas: Database Design/Programming, Software Design/Programming and Network Systems Support. For genetic data analysis support, types of analyses include genome wide association studies, genomic screens, qualitative and quantitative linkage analysis, pedigree segregation analysis, case-control and family-based association analysis, single-marker and haplotype analysis, and studies on candidate genes, linkage disequilibrium, and gene-gene interactions. This core is under the faculty direction of David Sexton. Data management, quality control, data storage, and simulation studies are also available through this Core.
