| The MidSouth Bioinformatics Center (MBC) |
| Synopsis |
| The MidSouth Bioinformatics Center (MBC) provides computational and consulting resources for researchers and students in Arkansas. Hosted by the Cybercollege at UALR, the MBC is competitively staffed from graduate assistants and led by Technical Director Roger Hall. With nearly twenty years of professional development experience, and three at UALR, Mr. Hall is ready to talk about your bioinformatics needs.
|
| Consulting services |
| From ad hoc analysis and publishing support to full project support in microarrays, molecular modeling, high-throughput genomics, nanotoxicity, and metabolomics, MBC staff are highly motivated and have successfully helped many Arkansas researchers. Custom software development is generally accomplished using highly credible and mature open source technologies. |
| Computational Resources |
The MidSouth Bioinformatics Center (MBC) provides a variety of computational resources including a 32 node Opteron cluster and an 8-way shared memory server with 32 G of RAM. User accounts are available; over thirty accounts have already been supported. Additionally, the MBC is giving away bioinformatics workstations, starting with INBRE associated institutions.
The MBC can also host your project website using your preferred domain name. You might even say that is why we bought the awesome Linux server that serves bioinformatics.ualr.edu. |
| Skill Workshops |
| The MBC offers free workshops in scripting and analysis using open source technologies, with examples and labs focused on skills applicable to modern life scientists. Contact Roger Hall if you are interested in hosting a workshop for your teachers or students at either the high school or university levels. All participants receive all materials with a copyleft license and are free to reuse in course development. |
| Comprehensive reference library |
| The MBC constantly adds volumes to the library, inlcuding academic texts. professional reports, journals, and industry magazines. Anyone interested may visit (UALR ETAS 507) and use the books within the center and optionally scan select pages to pdf. Bring a data stick! |
| Online knowledge base |
| A growing knowldge base of quality tutorials, install records, brain dumps, and important software has been recently expanded, with much more planned for the next year. Check out the Downloads, Tutorials, Newsletters, and Resources By subject sections! |
