Department of Biostatistics
Section
of Bioinformatics
-
The Bioinformatics group will develop statistically rigorous solutions
for the design and analysis of experiments within the Cancer Genomics
Program, and will provide data analysis, acquisition, curation and retrieval
tools to complement the laboratory services offered by the Cancer Genomics
Program.
-
A database for the storage and analysis of gene expression array data
is under development by this group. The database will be utilized for
arrays produced by the Cancer Genome's core facilities, as well as commercial
arrays.
-
The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center is committed to
the development of collaborative efforts in bioinformatics among academic
and research institutions within the Texas Medical Center and the Houston
community. M. D. Anderson sponsored a Houston Forum
on Cancer Genomics and Informatics on February 19, 2000. The goals
of the Forum were: (1) to review the current status of cancer genomics
and informatics efforts (focusing on gene expression studies); (2) to
identify areas of joint investigation in the Houston genomics and informatics
community; and (3) to formulate a strategy for multi-institutional collaboration. The second annual
forum on cancer genomics and informatics is in the planning stages for 2001.
-
The Bioinformatics Section is participating in the development of a
graduate program in bioinformatics that will involve several departments
from Rice University, Baylor
College of Medicine, The
University of Texas-Houston Health Science Center, and the
University of Houston.
- GENECLUST:
A tool for exploratory analysis of gene expression microarray data.
