This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. UNO biology has three INBRE associates, William Tapprich, Elaine Lahue and Donald Rowen. Dr. Tapprich administers the grant. Drs. Tapprich and Rowen are members of the infectious disease theme and Dr. Lahue is a member of the cell signaling theme. All associates have submitted manuscripts to international journals and all have had their manuscripts accepted for publication. Dr. Tapprich has two publications in press, one in Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology and one in Journal of Virology. Dr. Rowen has a publication accepted in Microbiology. Dr. Lahue has a publication accepted in Yeast. All of the associates are also presenting their work at national and international meetings. There are now six BRIN scholars in UNO biology, Dan Reimer, Zachary Meyer, Joel Rivas, Kara Gordon, Ben Hanzel, and Megan Nelson. The first four will be graduating in May 2005. Dan and Zach have been accepted into medical school at UNMC, Joel is still undecided about his future plans and Kara will work for a year as a research technician before pursuing a Ph.D. All of the current scholars have been active in attending and presenting their research work at national and international meetings. Kara and Zach were recipients of the departmental awards for outstanding major and Kara received this year's award as the outstanding undergraduate at UNO. Three new scholars have been selected for the coming year, Marcus Finch, Tess Eidem and Mona Sorouri. All will begin summer projects at UNMC. Funds made available from the INBRE grant enabled us to establish a DNA sequencing facility and a quantitative real time PCR facility in the department. Supply and travel funds from the INBRE grant are invaluable in maintaining our research programs and have led directly to the publications that will appear this year. The computer science department at UNO continues to develop significantly in the area of Bioinformatics. The Bioinformatics activities are continuing to grow with the contribution of five faculty members (including four INBRE associates), ten graduate students and twenty undergraduate students in the newly developed Bioinformatics programs (including five BRIN scholars). The four INBRE associates (Hesham Ali, Zhengxin Chen, Parvathi Chundi and Mark Pauley) have been very active in leading research and educational activities in Bioinformatics. In addition to the four associates, another computer science faculty member, Heifeng Guo, has shown interest and has conducted research in the field. The research output of the group has been significant, with results presented in several professional meetings and published in three journals and many referred conference proceedings. They have been supervising a number of graduate students including five doctoral students. Additionally, three new courses in Bioinformatics were developed and offered the last two semesters. Also, a new Bioinformatics researcher, Guoqing Liu, will be joining UNO this summer on a joint appointment between the departments of Computer Science and Biology, The two 2004 BRIN (Nicholas Palermo and Sarfraz Chandio) Scholars continued to work on projects related to the ones conducted last summer. The results of the projects were presented in several regional events as well as in two international conferences. This summer, both scholars will continue their activities at the same research labs they joined last summer. Three new BRIN Scholars were selected from seven applicants and will join research labs this coming summer. All three scholars are among the 20 students on the new degree in Bioinformatics offered at UNO. The new degree has been attracting many outstanding students and is expected to grow rapidly in the next couple of years. The computer science department continues to house a significant computational facility that was developed by funds from an earlier round of the BRIN grant and an NSF EPSCoR infrastructure grant. The cluster computing facility serves all research and educational needs of the Bioinformatics students and faculty. Several options are currently been investigated to upgrade and maintain the facilities.

该副本是利用众多研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子弹和 调查员（PI）可能已经从其他NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他清晰的条目中代表。列出的机构是 对于中心，这不一定是调查员的机构。 UNO Biology拥有三个近亲同事，William Tapprich，Elaine Lahue和Donald Rowen。 塔普里奇博士管理赠款。 博士。 Tapprich和Rowen是传染病主题的成员，Lahue博士是细胞信号主题的成员。 所有员工都向国际期刊提交了手稿，所有同事都被接受了手稿以供出版。 塔普里奇（Tapprich）博士在《新闻报》中有两份出版物，其中一篇是微生物学和免疫学的当前主题，另一篇是病毒学杂志。 罗文博士有一份在微生物学上接受的出版物。 Lahue博士在酵母中接受了一份出版物。 所有员工还在国家和国际会议上展示他们的工作。 现在有六个Brin Bioology，Dan Reimer，Zachary Meyer，Joel Rivas，Kara Gordon，Ben Hanzel和Megan Nelson。 前四个将于2005年5月毕业。Dan和Zach已被UNMC接受医学院，乔尔仍未确定自己的未来计划，Kara将在攻读博士学位之前担任研究技术员一年。 目前所有的学者都积极参加并在国际和国际会议上介绍他们的研究工作。 卡拉（Kara）和扎克（Zach）获得了杰出专业的部门奖，卡拉（Kara）获得了今年的奖项，成为UNO的杰出本科生。 来年已选出了三个新学者，Marcus Finch，Tess Eidem和Mona Sorouri。 所有人都将在UNMC开始夏季项目。 近亲赠款提供的资金使我们能够在该部门建立一个DNA测序设施和定量实时PCR设施。 来自近亲赠款的供应和旅行资金对于维护我们的研究计划是无价的，并直接导致了今年出现的出版物。 UNO的计算机科学系在生物信息学领域继续发展。在新开发的生物信息学计划（包括五个Brin Scholars）中，五名教职员工（包括四名inbre Associates），10名研究生和二十名本科生的贡献（包括五名Brin Scholars），生物信息学活动正在继续增长。 四个Inbre Associates（Hesham Ali，Zhengxin Chen，Parvathi Chundi和Mark Pauley）非常积极地在生物信息学领域的领先研究和教育活动中。除了四个同事外，另一位计算机科学教师Heifeng Guo还表现出了兴趣，并在该领域进行了研究。 该小组的研究成果非常重要，结果在几次专业会议上提出，并在三本期刊和许多推荐会议录中发表。他们一直在监督许多研究生，包括五名博士生。此外，开发了三个新的生物信息学课程，并提供了最后两个学期。此外，一位新的生物信息学研究人员朱厄（Guqing Liu）将于今年夏天加入UNO，在计算机科学与生物学部门之间联合任命， 2004年的两名Brin（Nicholas Palermo和Sarfraz Chandio）的学者继续从事与去年夏天进行的项目有关的项目。这些项目的结果在几个区域活动以及两个国际会议上呈现。今年夏天，两位学者将继续在去年夏天加入的同一研究实验室中进行活动。从七名申请人中选出了三名新的Brin学者，并将于今年夏天加入研究实验室。这三位学者都是UNO提供的新学位的20名学生之一。新学位吸引了许多杰出的学生，预计将在未来几年内迅速增长。 计算机科学系继续容纳一个重要的计算设施，该设施是由Brin Grant和NSF EPSCOR基础设施赠款的资金开发的。集群计算设施可满足生物信息学学生和教师的所有研究和教育需求。目前正在研究几种选择以升级和维护设施。
