BIG
400 route des chappes, BP 167, 0690 Sophia Antipolis Cedex ,
The Institut Sophia Agrobiotech (ISA) Bioinformatics and Genomics Platform (BIG) was created in January 2012. Its aim is to pool ISA's bioinformatics resources and skills in order to handle and optimize data processing for the growing number of “omics” projects. The platform's activity is focused on sequence analysis in the field of interactions between plants and bio-aggressors or symbionts. It pools its efforts around the development of original programs and tools to best meet the needs of biologists and the scientific questions posed.
BioInfomed
School of Medicine 28, Ave de Valombrose 06107 Nice Cedex 02 - France
The service brings together both IT management at IRCAN and the bioinformatics part. We provide IRCAN and its partners with an IT infrastructure which brings together resources dedicated to intensive computing or massive data storage. We have several server rooms on the Pasteur campus in Nice. The service also offers bioinformatics support. We can provide expertise and supervision on scientific projects requiring bioinformatics analyses, mainly related to genomics questions.
CoBiODA
IPMC UMR7275, 660 Route des Lucioles, SOPHIA ANTIPOLIS, 06560 VALBONNE
The main aim of CoBiODA is to setup a bioinformatics platform from the angle of a research support centre for the IPMC teams aiming to allow an emulation of the bioinformatics resources within a common structure. Such a structure will represent a possibility for developing strong interactions between bioinformaticians, gathering the team bioinformatics efforts and will facilitated transversal integration of heterogeneous data sets produced by the different technical platforms. Research teams could thus benefit from the high-performance bioinformatics support necessary for the production of high-impact publications enhancing the work of the institute's researchers and engineers.
iBV Bioinformatics Facility
Parc Valrose - 06108 Nice Cedex 2
With the large production of data generated by high throughput experiments, the iBV has recently engaged in the creation of a bioinformatics core facility. The primary goal is to provide all iBV researchers a local expertise and technology platform for their needs related to bioinformatics, biostatistics, data storage etc. Due to an already existing and an expected increase of the demand for next generation sequencing data analysis the first priority was given to the setup of a local instance of a GALAXY web platform. The iBV has purchased a dedicated server and installed all the softwares required for processing and analysis of Chip-seq and RNA-seq data using GALAXY. Additional tools are also available for pathway and network analysis using CYTOSCAPE and INGENUITY. Researchers will also benefit from assistance for the design and statistical analysis of their NGS experiments. Besides regular service, the platform also develops collaborative projects with research teams that are addressing unconventional issues.
