The Center for Genomics and Bioinformatics is a multidisciplinary
research center serving the Indiana University Bloomington campus,
with collaborations expanding to include medical researchers at the
Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis. The CGB carries
out independent research in genomics and bioinformatics, collaborates
with and/or assists projects developed by IU faculty, and promotes
interdepartmental and interdisciplinary interactions to enhance
genomics and bioinformatics at IU.
The CGB is currently engaged in collaborations with 23 scientists from
the departments of Biology, Mathematics, and Psychology and Brain
Sciences, the School of Informatics, the School of Public and
Environmental Affairs, the IU School of Medicine, plus at least 12
faculty at 9 other institutions.
With financial support from METACyt,
the CGB now has an operational Roche GS-FLX for high-throughput next-
generation sequencing. We have also become equipped to work with and
analyze Nimblegen products. For
these new genomics technologies and any bioinformatics support, IUB
faculty can seek CGB assistance or explore the potential for future
collaborations by contacting the director or deputy director.
For the 2008-09 academic year, together with the Office of Academic
Affairs and the Dean of the Faculties, the Department of Biology, and
the School of Informatics, the CGB is a co-sponsor for the IUB Seminars in Genomics and Bioinformatics. To be
