Happy new years to everyone. A couple new things happening in BioMicro that we want to make everyone aware of. <BR><BR>
First, this month begins a year long experiment in joining the BioMicro Center Informatics team and the KI Bioinformatics and Computing Core in to a single team. Our two teams have been collaborating for several years, sharing computational infrastructure, etc. but this year we will be formalizing and expanding the relationship with the goal of creating a more efficient unified core. Informatics analysis requests should still be sent to Charlie Whittaker or to myself as usual, but will be spread across the joint team based on expertise and on availability. You are also, as always, welcome to contact any of the informatics scientists directly. We hope this will allow us to reduce waiting times and to keep costs under control.  <BR><BR>
During the trial period (and hopefully going forward), pricing for informatics will be available in two flavors. First, for projects needing routine work, the subsidized rate will be $70/h for all CORE members (Biology, BE, KI, CEHS). For more involved projects, we have second option to purchase a “share” of the informatics team. This is an annual commitment for a fraction of an informaticist and will cost $960/mo for an average of 4h/week of informatics support. The monthly usage levels do not have to be exact and can be used in large blocks. The hours in the share can be used with any member of the team and the informaticist can vary from project to project.  <BR><BR>
Finally, and importantly, we will be changing the way we are storing Illumina sequencing data long term. In the past, we have saved the fastq, sam and bam files, along with the quality control data, in a zipped file. These zipped files now occupy over 50TB of storage which is limiting  how we are able to handle new sequencing runs. To address this, we will be deleting the fastq and sam files from the archive and storing only the binary bam and quality control files. The fastq and sam files can be regenerated rapidly from the bam files using Picard and SamTools (though reads may not be in the same order). As always, we strongly encourage you to keep your own copy of the Illumina data and use our version only as a backup. We will begin this conversion next week.
If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

ABOUT THE BIOMICRO CENTER

The MIT BioMicro Center was founded in 2000 as the core bio-fabrication and microarray processing facility at MIT. The Center is a joint endeavor between the Department of Biology, the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, the Department of Biological Engineering and the MIT Center for Environmental Health Sciences. The BioMicro Center provides MIT faculty members with integrated facilities for high-throughput data-intensive genomics, bioinformatic analysis, as well as large-scale database storage, management, data mining and data modeling required to fully implement systems approaches to investigate a broad spectrum of biological problems. The BioMicro Center is designed to maximize the likelihood of successfully designing, implementing, and analyzing systems biology data. With an expert staff available for consultation and collaboration, including several full time bioinformatics scientists and experimentalist with significant experience in systems biology, ample resources exist to assist MIT researchers in any aspect of the research project. This unique cross-disciplinary collaboration leverages resources, spreading institutional commitment, and providing an environment that strongly encourages intellectual rapport between scientists that contributes to the success of projects. This collaborative environment creates a unique opportunity for interactions of biologists and biological engineers who study a broad range of problems. Investigators are able to adopt novel techniques to address their topics of interest as well as develop new collaborations throughout the institute.

Experimental and analytical work done in the BioMicro Center is funded by the NIH and must be made available through the NIH's open access policy. All Koch Institute and CEHS labs must acknowledge their core grants for work done in the core with the following language.

  • KI "This work was funded by the National Cancer Institute of the NIH under award P30-CA14051"
  • CEHS "This work was funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences of the NIH under award P30-ES002109"
