Biomolecular systems are essential to applications in medicine, biotechnology, and therapeutics in general. Research facilities equipped with state of the art instrumentation involving Bimolecular Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Crystallization, Mass Spectrometry (MS), or cryogenic-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) have the power to push the limits of science and technology in exploring molecular structures. Design and analysis of molecular structures such as a protein or a nucleic acid, namely DNA or RNA, is dependent of data that resides in these facilities and suitable computational analyses. This knowledge is at the intersection of physics, chemistry, engineering, and computer science.
The goal of offering data processing services is to aid scientists in processing, analyses, and visualization of experiments. Services can be custom made and tailored to specific projects. The types of standard services offered in the lab are currently focused on NGS data processing and structural analyses. Data processing can be offered as an end-to-end pipeline, eg. from fastq files to different visualizations, such as volcano plots. Services will be added in the future depending on the need and level of student training.
