The KSU Bioinformatics Center is currently funded by the K-INBRE. Thus, we are able to provide the following services and consultation free of charge. Researchers who are preparing grant proposals may also contact us for a description of our facilities and services.

However, for grant proposals in which bioinformatics will be an integrated component, we would suggest that you consider collaborative research. In these cases, we will be glad to participate in proposal preparation, and specialized persons may be assigned to work on the project (if funded).

- We provide assistance with installation and maintenance of various bioinformatics software packages.

- We provide services in sequence raw data processing, assembly and preliminary annotation.

- We can assist you in sequence analysis, including BLAST search, protein domain analysis, multiple sequence alignment, phylogenetic analysis, and other common sequence-based methods.

- We provide assistance in microarray data normalization, transformation and basic statistical tests using the GeneSpring software package.

- We provide consultation on biological data acquisition and database design.
