Genome Project :Scientists Crack the Human DNA Code : UK News Reports (2nd July 2000) - Video

The Philippine Genome Center (PGC) officially opened on Monday, April 14, its Core Facility for Bioinformatics (CFB) to provide local scientists and researchers a suite of services for genome-scale data generation and analysis.

At the heart of the facility is an IBM supercomputer dubbed Blue Gene, which the US-based tech giant provided to the Philippine government.

The bioinformatics unit complements the next generation sequencing services being offered by the centers DNA Sequencing Core Facility (DSCF).

It offers high-performance computing resources, hardware and software, needed to analyze, manage/curate, and archive massive amount of data derived from next-generation sequencing.

Apart from data storage and analytics, researchers working with genomics-based technologies may also avail of the CFBs custom-made/client-focused services such as provision of software, specialized databases or technical support for varied bioinformatics analyses, and also the use and access to high-performance computing resources.

The Core Facility for Bioinformatics, a part of the research project capability building in R&D genomics is now open to local researchers through the grant from the Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (PCIEERD), said Dr. Carmencita D. Padilla, executive director of the PGC.

In 2012, IBM teamed up with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) to establish the first Philippine Systems and Technology R&D Lab.

As part of the initiative, the DOST also received an IBM Blue Gene/P super computer for use in research and development projects aligned with the national agenda, which includes improving weather forecasts, disaster management, precision agriculture, and health.

Although primarily seen as a catalyst in the advancement of bioinformatics and computational genomics research in the country, the CFB is also designed to contribute in addressing the lack of local experts in bioinformatics/computational biology.

About the Institute

The National Human Genome Research Institute began as the National Center for Human Genome Research (NCHGR), which was established in 1989 to carry out the role of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the International Human Genome Project (HGP). The HGP was developed in collaboration with the United States Department of Energy and begun in 1990 to map the human genome. In 1993, NCHGR expanded its role on the NIH campus by establishing the Division of Intramural Research to apply genome technologies to the study of specific diseases. In 1996, the Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR) was also established (co-funded by eight NIH institutes and centers) to study the genetic components of complex disorders.

In 1997 the United States Department of Health and Human Services renamed NCHGR the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), officially elevating it to the status of research institute - one of 27 institutes and centers that make up the NIH.

With the human genome sequence complete since April 2003, scientists around the world have access to a database that greatly facilitates and accelerates the pace of biomedical research. The history of the HGP, the history of genomics, and the history of NHGRI, are inextricably intertwined.
