24 == Facilities ==

25

26 The Salk Institute is a world-class biological research institute with excellent facilities available for molecular genetics. The laboratory space available for this project is approximately 1000 square feet that includes computer facilities, equipment necessary for histology, and computer-driven microscopes.

27

28 Across the street, the University of California at San Diego contains state-of-the-art computing facilities, and an excellent computer science department with some of the world's experts on machine learning and machine vision.

30 == Equipment ==

31

32 This project concerns the development and application of methods for analyzing gene expression data. As such, the facilities needed are principally computers. We have a Dell Precision 4700 computer with two 3 GHz Intel Xeon processors and 8 gigabytes of RAM which will be fully dedicated to the project, and we will acquire more computers upon the commencement of the project. We can also access a shared 32-node cluster of dual Athlon computers with larger amounts of memory, running the Sun Grid Engine.
