BiRD (Bioinformatics facility)

BiRD core facility involves research labs in Biology, Health, and Digital sciences. BiRD supports life scientists in managing, integrating, analyzing and modeling experimental data by providing :

• a large scale storage and computing infrastructure by sharing its resources with the regional computing center GLiCID
• computational tools and workflows.

Standardized workflows for primary analysis are developed in collaboration with GenoA core facility.

By also developing a bioinformatics training offer, BiRD empowers life scientists to tackle the challenges of massively produced life science data.

BiRD is involved in the following networks:

• IFB (Institut Français de Bioinformatique), the national research infrastructure for bioinformatics
• Biogenouest the regional network
• IBISA, the national network of life science research infrastructures
• Structure Fédérative de Recherche F. Bonamy
