The Data Coordination Centre for the UK Human Functional Genomics Initiative

The Data Coordination Centre (DCC) aims to accelerate scientific breakthroughs in functional genomics by enabling scientists to find, use, and share data generated by the Initiative. We are a centralised team based at the University of Exeter to support researchers funded by the UK Human Functional Genomics Initiative (FGx).

The DCC will work to:

• Support data standardisation and analysis
• Enable the adoption of FAIR ...

Data analysis for functional genomics

In life sciences today, the handling, analysis and storage of enormous amounts of data is a challenging issue. For example, new sequencing and imaging technologies result in the generation of large scale genomic and image data. Hence, an appropriate IT infrastructure is crucial to perform analyses with such large datasets and to ensure secure data access and storage. In addition, it is difficult to directly compare result data that have been processed at different sites, due to a lack in ...

Mass spectrometry imaging, which localizes molecules in a tag-free, spatially-resolved manner, is a powerful tool for the understanding of underlying biochemical mechanisms of biological phenomena. When analyzing MSI data, it is essential to delineate Regions-of-Interest (ROIs) that correspond to tissue areas of different anatomical or pathological labels. Spatial segmentation, obtained by clustering MSI pixels according to their mass spectral similarities, is a popular approach to automate ROI ...
