About the National Center for Genome Analysis Support (NCGAS) (Retired)

The National Center for Genome Analysis Support (NCGAS) was an Indiana University Pervasive Technology Institute (PTI) research center that helped US genomics researchers analyze, understand, and make use of vast amounts of genomic information by providing them access to high performance computing resources, training on computational workflows and skills, and collaboration on bioinformatic analyses. NCGAS focused particularly on transcriptome- and genome-level assembly, phylogenetics, metagenomics, transcriptomics, and community genomics. NCGAS was a collaborative project between IU and the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) at Carnegie Mellon University. The project has now concluded.

The NCGAS was funded by the National Science Foundation under Grant Nos. DBI-1062432 2011, ABI-1458641 2015, and ABI-1759906 2018 to Indiana University.
