CBMi Offers Next Generation Sequencing Analysis to Research Institute Investigators: The Center for Biomedical Informatics (CBMi) and the Bioinformatics Core have developed extensive capabilities and expertise for analyzing large-scale genomic data from next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms.

CBMi Releases CNV Workshop: The Center for Biomedical Informatics at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is pleased to announce the release of a software package that provides a comprehensive workflow for analyzing, managing, and visualizing genome copy number variation (CNV) data.

Center for Biomedical Informatics (CBMi) Launches Mobile Application for Clinical Research Studies : The Center for Biomedical Informatics (CBMi) is pleased to announce the release of its first developed mobile health application, now available for download in the iTunes App Store.

CBMi Study Identifies Neurodevelopmental Pathways Preferentially Aberrant in Children with ADHD:
CBMi researchers have identified hundreds of gene variations that occur more frequently in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) than in children without ADHD. Many of those genes were already known to be important for learning, behavior, brain function and neurodevelopment, but had not been previously associated with ADHD.
