Bioinformatics Consultation

Do you have questions about running a computational process for genomics data? Is the process new to you, or are your systems unable to process a job of this scale? We are available to help. Computational genomics consulting is available to all faculty, staff, and students at UTIA. The consulting is offered by Ryan Kuster at [email protected].

Data Analysis Support

Past consulting has included these topics:

• Genome or Transcriptome Assembly
• Gene Annotation
• Differential Expression Analysis
• Variant Calling (SNPs, InDels, SVs)
• Generating SSR Markers
• Small RNA Analysis
• How to Order Sequencing (Platform, Depth, Price, etc.)

*If what you need isn’t on the list, we are still happy to meet with you and talk through possible support options.
