Wyoming receives biomedical science datasets grant

The University of Wyoming’s Wyoming IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence will enhance biomedical research infrastructure, research competitiveness, training and workforce development with the assistance of a federal grant to develop a cloud-based genomics data learning module.

Wyoming INBRE received a National Institute of General Medical Sciences Sandbox supplemental grant from the National Institutes of Health worth $43,945 over one year for the project titled “RADseq for Population Genetics, Linkage Mapping and GWAS.” The grant started May 1 and ends April 30, 2025. The NIGMS Sandbox is a collection of cloud-based biomedical data science learning modules to teach students, researchers, clinicians and others how to harness the power of cloud technology for life sciences applications and research.

Under the grant, the Wyoming INBRE Data Science Core is developing a cloud-based learning module for the NIGMS Sandbox that will be of benefit to those interested in gaining more insights into genomics data sets.
