Aims of the Biostatistics Core Specific Aim 1: To provide biostatistical consultation and support to projects in the program. Special emphasis will be to assist in visualization, analysis, quantitative modeling and interpretation of results.
Aims of the Biostatistics Core Specific Aim 2: To help in identifying the appropriate data structures; ensuring data quality and data confidentiality; and developing efficient data transferring and interfacing for data analysis and data visualization under different platforms.
Two important stages where we get involved Before the study: How can I best address my hypothesis using minimal resources to get maximal information? • Planning Stage: • Experimental Design • How many samples? • How many replicates? • Housekeeping genes? • Dye swapping? • What’s the big deal? You could spend a lot of time and money and not able to answer your questions due to experimental errors, etc. After the study: Now that I have this enormous amount of data, how do I summarize it and answer my questions? • Analysis Stage: • Visualization • Data Exploration • Analytic Tools and Models
What we do • One-on-one consultations with investigators for planning experiments • One-on-one consultations with investigators for visualization, dataexploration, and analysis. • Tutorials for helping investigators use some of the software for exploration and visualization independently. • Tutorials on basic statistical concepts, including experimental design in gene expression studies and basic analytic tools.
GeneX • Web based database, data mining, and data analysis tool • Supports * multiple users * multiple species * multiple microarray platforms Common Denominator for data analysis
GeneX Components • Curation Tool (imports data) • Database (OpenSource SQL) • XML Data Exchange Protocol • Query and analytic routines -- mining -- biostatistics in R
Analytical Tools and Applications Included or Co-developed with GeneX • Clustering • Visualization • Principle Component Analysisand Multi-Dimensional Scaling • Significance testing with R • Integration with other databases
