U.S. researchers are in the midst of dramatic developments in genome sequencing capabilities, driven by the availability of high throughput, low cost next-generation gene sequencers. To help address the scientific challenges of understanding this new wealth of gene sequence information, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded Indiana University a $1.5-million grant (NSF Award #1062432 - ABI Development: National Center for Genome Analysis Support) to establish the National Center for Genome Analysis Support (NCGAS).
NCGAS supports the national community of NSF-funded researchers who undertake genome science, critical to new opportunities in biological discovery.
The NCGAS is the culmination of more than a decade of focused support for bioinformatics by University Information Technology Services, spearheaded initially by Dr. Richard Repasky and now led by Dr. William Barnett.
