Forsyth Bioinformatics Core specializes in oral microbial genomics and microarray gene expression analyses through the integration of computer science with molecular biology and genetics.

Below is a list of major bioinformatics projects at The Forsyth Insititue:

• BROP: The Bioinformatics Resource for Oral Pathogens
• HOMD: The Human Oral Microbiome Database
• HOMIM: The Human Oral Microbe Identification Microarray Data Analysis
• GSD: The Genomic Signature Database
• MTD: The Microbial Transcriptome Database

Several other bioinformatics related projects that are currently under development can also be found in the top navigation menu of this page. We welcome any collaboration idea.

In addition to supporting the public and funded bioinformatics projects, the Bioinformatics Core also provides the computational support to the Forsyth researchers for processing, analyzing, and interpretation of the biological data. Services that are commonly provided include:

• GCG / EMBOSS Molecular Biology Software Package (Intranet Only)
• Batch Blast Service
• Microarray Data Analysis
• Proteomic Data Analysis
• Consultation on analysis of other bioinformatics data
• Custom microbial genome annotation (full, partial or survey genomic sequences)
• High-density microbial genomic tiling array design for transcriptome studies
