Research Informatics Shared Resourse Open-Source Projects
GNomEx:
HCI Research Informatics Shared Resource (RISR) has designed and implemented a genomic LIMS and data repository: GNomEx, a software solution that documents, organizes, and tracks microarray and massively parallel DNA sequencing experiments performed at the University of Utah Microarray and Genomic Analysis Core Facility.
GNomEx serves as both a data repository for genomic experiments and analyses and as a laboratory information management system for Core Facilities that records information relevant at all steps of the experimental process.
CORE Browser:
CORE Browser (Comprehensive Oncology Research Environment Browser), developed and maintained by RISR, is a web-based research data desktop.
This application’s robust design creates a hassle-free central hub of files located across multiple platforms, including cloud-based storage. Users can view, manage, store, share, and organize those files without the need of using other applications.
With CORE Browser’s support of Amazon Simple Storage Service (AWS S3), power users have access to AWS’s Command line interface (CLI). Plans to expand cloud-based storage support in future releases.
Partnered with HCI’s Cancer Bioinformatics (CBI), researchers can easily manage their HCI High-Throughput Genomics (HTG) genomic experimentation and bioinformatic analysis files.
