The FUGE 2 Bioinformatics platform is designed in direct response to the demand for increased use of bioinformatics from the FUGE 1 evaluation. The platform will provide state of the art research based services in theoretical and applied bioinformatics to Norwegian research groups, in close collaboration with other platforms and service-providing projects within FUGE. The activity will be coordinated at a national level in a collaboration between Bergen, Oslo, Trondheim and Tromsø, ensuring that we can ta ke advantage of complementary competence and avoid unnecessary duplication of efforts between institutions. The platform will provide hardware and software infrastructure, expert guidance and support to Norwegian users, giving them a competitive advantage in their research projects. It will play an active role in development and deployment of international standards for data representation and analysis to enable efficient integration of data and software solutions. This will be coordinated with other plat forms to facilitate the level of data integration needed in functional genomics, and in particular in systems biology. The platform will actively explore new methods and technologies to make these available to Norwegian users. It will offer advanced user courses, and collaborate with the host institutions on basic and advanced training, ensuring efficient transfer of competence from the platform to the user community. It is a goal to increase the use of bioinformatics in the user community and to recruit groups from e.g. computer science, mathematics, statistics, physics and chemistry that can contribute to development of bioinformatics theory and methods. The platform will contribute to and support industrial development. It is an overall aim to strengt hen the Norwegian bioinformatics research and infrastructure to an international level in a coordinated effort between all main universities, in order to ensure that this can continue beyond the end of FUGE.
