This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing theresources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject andinvestigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.A.
Specific Aims The overall objective of the proposed Core in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics is to provide a world-class facility supporting the research of current as well as future biologists at UTSA as well as the training of our students. The two specific aims identified in the original proposal were to 1) Establish a Bioinformatics core facility and 2) Support Computational Biology. The Computational Biology / Bioinformatics Facility we are constructing with funding from the RCMI, is designed as to support a range of research from sophisticated study of genomes, to analysis of the dynamics of the regulation, control and expression of proteins, to increasing complex efforts to construct models at all levels of biological organization. While the software, hardware and personnel involved in supporting each activity are somewhat different  the essential infrastructure requirements for each are shared, and are therefore described together in the following sections:
