BioStatistics and Computational Biology Core Service

The Computational Molecular Biology and Statistics Core facility provides statistical analysis of data or experimental design and bioinformatic analyses (e.g. motif hunting, phylogenetic comparisons) for a variety of applications.
Statistical and computational services are provided on the basis of an hourly fee. Outside users will be charged $124 per hour. For all users, a brief initial consultation to determine feasibility, time frame, and so forth is exempt from charges.
There are two ways to pay for these services. The usual source of funds is expected to be the individual Principal Investigator's grant. Your grant will be charged via the same mechanism as is used for other core services. If grant funds are not available, Division funds may be used with the prior approval of the PI's Division Director.
To request services please complete and submit the Service Request Form (PDF file size: 35K). Users are encouraged to contact appropriate core personnel directly prior to form submission if they need assistance in determining feasibility, likely duration of the project, etc.
After receipt of the Service Request Form (PDF file size: 35K), requestors will be contacted and provided information on the personnel assigned to the work, an estimate on the likely duration of the project, and approximate time frame to completion (i.e. whether they will be waiting as other projects are completed). All efforts to provide accurate estimates will be made, but users must be cautioned that revisions may sometimes be necessary as a project proceeds. In such cases, investigators will be apprised of such revisions as early as possible.
Collaborations: Users should recognize that collaborative projects, in which core staff contributions justify co-authorship on publications, are not exempted from chargeback. Conversely, payment of chargeback should not be viewed as a replacement for acknowledgement of core staff contributions by acknowledgement or coauthorship when appropriate. For elaboration on this issue, see the FAQs page.
