The Benioff Center for Microbiome Medicine

Overview

The BCMM Computational Core is dedicated to empowering researchers by providing advanced computational analyses of omics data, primarily obtained from microbiome sequencing. This initiative supports translational research aimed at improving patient outcomes. The core's daily responsibilities include processing and analyzing omics datasets and delivering these findings directly to investigators. Additionally, the core manages the development, maintenance, and upgrading of the computational infrastructure necessary for operating sophisticated analytical software and handling the extensive computational demands associated with these tasks.

Consultation and project support

Our team has the expertise to assist with all aspects of microbiome data analysis. Prior to starting the project, we will supply an estimate of the required hours, a quote, and a start date as outlined in our Memorandum of Understanding (PDF). Throughout the project, you will be kept informed with detailed monthly billing updates and continuous delivery of analysis results on our project page.

Pricing structure

Below is a summary of our approved recharge rates, effective August 1, 2024.

Note: The pricing listed below is our current pricing. However, pricing is adjusted semi-annually and is not guaranteed. For projects that will be processed >3 months from the time of quote generation, we suggest that you add a 10-15% pricing buffer to account for increasing service costs. Actual pricing will be determined at the time the work will be completed by the facility.
