CBC Open House

Friday, April 27th, 2018

08:30 AM - 01:30 PM

Storrs Campus
Engineering and Science Building, Room 304

The Second Annual Computational Biology Core Open House will be held on the UConn Storrs campus: Friday, April 27th 8:45am - 1:30pm.

This half-day event will provide an overview of the resources available through the Institute for Systems Genomics with a specific focus on new resources for bioinformatics support provided by the Computational Biology Core (CBC). We will discuss project support, training, software, and hardware.

Research talks will focus on members of the UConn community actively using the resources available through the CBC.

There are two FREE training sessions available during the lunch hour, please select the session you wish to attend when you register.

Oh, and lunch is free for those registered. Please join us for a fun and informative day!

In 2014, Provost Mun Choi and Vice-President for Research Jeff Seemann announced the establishment of the Center for Genome Innovation (CGI) within the Institute for Systems Genomics, under the direction of Rachel O’Neill, Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology.
The mission of the CGI is to provide state-of-the-art expertise in genome technologies like Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and microfluidics platforms for single cell genomic analysis while facilitating genomics research for faculty and students across the University of Connecticut campuses.

Located on both the Storrs and Farmington campuses, the CGI’s infrastructure will serve as a nexus for computational biology support and incorporate instrumentation previously included within the Center for Applied Genetics and Technology: ABI 3500 Genetic Analyzer; BioRad CFX96 Real-Time PCR machine; Affymetrix Gene Atlas and Gene Chip Systems. UConn has also acquired 4 NGS instruments (2 Illumina NextSeq 500 and 2 Illumina MiSeq sequencers). The Illumina NextSeq 500 will be upgraded to the NextSeq 550 in the Fall of 2017. Support for these technologies will be in the form of experienced user access, hands-on assistance, training and/or consultation through the CGI.
