Genomics data science core to advance single-cell and spatial omics
Official title: Genomic Data Science Core
Funded at Dartmouth College · NIH-11406063 · Data updated 2026-11-12
A genomics data science core at Dartmouth College will build and share software and training to help researchers analyze large-scale sequencing data, especially single-cell and spatial omics, so diseases can be understood at the molecular level.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Patients whose diseases are studied or whose samples may be used for genomic analyses, especially those involving single-cell and spatial omics data.
✕Less likely to help
Patients outside genomics research or those not involved in sample collection may not directly benefit.
What this research studies
This grant funds the Genomics Data Science Core to develop new analysis tools for omics data, with a focus on single-cell and spatial transcriptomics. It also aims to enhance computing resources, create pipelines, and host educational workshops to train researchers in the latest data-analysis techniques. The work is designed to help scientists extract meaningful biological insights from complex datasets and support related genomics research at the institution.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients could benefit from faster, more accurate understanding of diseases at the tissue and cellular level through improved genomic analyses.
How similar studies have gone: Other genomics cores have improved data analysis workflows and training, showing the value of shared resources and pipelines in accelerating research.
