Scientific Overview
SCCO Research Study (small cell carcinoma of the ovary)
General Overview
As technologies such as DNA sequencing, gene expression microarrays, and genotyping become more common, analyzing the large amount of data they produce becomes difficult. The disciplines of bioinformatics and computational biology have emerged to develop mathematical methods that assist in storing, distributing, and analyzing these large data sets. The Computational Biology laboratory at VARI uses mathematical and computer science approaches to help develop a better understanding of how cancer cells differ from normal cells at the molecular level. We also provide assistance in data analysis and other computational projects.
