The mission of the Bioinformatics Core is:

• To develop an informatics center that will allow clinical and basic science investigators to collect and manage large amounts of gene expression, gene sequence and coded clinical data generated from cancer research studies.
• To develop Web-based data mining and analysis tools that will allow investigators to generate and validate new hypotheses based on the integration of collected genomic and clinical data sets.
• To provide a center for publicly accessible data resources, tools, references and protocols that will assist investigators in applying genomics to basic, translational and clinical cancer research.
• To provide a publicly accessible venue for "publishing" experimental findings and corresponding data sets generated from investigator-based studies.

LOCATION: Cortex Building & 4444 Forest Park Parkway Building 

TO ACCESS: e-mail help@mga.wustl.edu

As of April 7, 2008, the NIH requires investigators with a publication using Siteman (or other NIH-funded) shared resources to submit (or have submitted for them) their final, peer reviewed manuscripts to PubMed Central(PMC) upon acceptance of publication, to be made publicly available within 12 months of publication. Many journals automatically submit these for authors, but Washington University also has assistance available through the Becker Medical Library. Please see http://publicaccess.nih.gov/FAQ.htm#b7 or http://becker.wustl.edu/services/scholarly/nihpolicy.html for more information.
