Off topic:Creating A Bioinformatics Support Unit

Question

[Graslevy]

Hey Guys,

I am hoping to get informed responses (and personal experiences) relating to the logistics of setting up a BSU. This unit will analyse RNA-Seq, Microarray, GWAS and Exome sequencing data.

Please advise on cost, linux cluster set-up and other hardware. Any advise on marketing strategies and expected revenue will be helpful too. Also advise on any challenges and pitfalls to avoid.

Thank you.
