The   Conte   Center   for   Computational   Neuropsychiatric   Genomics   is   a   cross-­‐disciplinary   and  multi-­‐institutional   effort   involving   seven  universities   that   include  The  University  of  Chicago,  Northwestern  University,  The  University  of  Illinois  at  Chicago,  Harvard  University,  Stanford  University,  Columbia  University,  and  the  University  of  Haifa   in  Israel.  The  overarching  goal  of  the  Center  is  to  identify  the   genetic   and   environmental   risk   and   protective   factors   that   underlie   mental  health   and   disease,   including   autism,   schizophrenia,   bipolar   disorder,   major  depression,  anxiety  disorder,  and  psychopathology.  Our  team  develops  and  applies  drastically   new   mathematical   and   computational   strategies   to   infer   causal  relationships   among   genetic   variation,   environmental   variables   and   psychiatric  phenotypes.  We  achieve  this  by  combining  the  statistical  power  of  large  genetic  and  pharmacogenomic  datasets,  text-­‐mining  strategies  and  review  of  electronic  medical  records.   Computational   predictions   are   then   experimentally   validated   using   high-­‐throughput   biochemical,   genomic   and   proteomic   strategies,   as   well   as   the  development  of  in  vitro  and  animal  models.

 CONTE  PROTECTED  DATA  CLOUD  WORKSHOP    Allison  Heath,  Ph.D.  and  Ney  Alliey-­‐Rodriguez,  Ph.D.  (The  University  of  Chicago)    May  6,  2014;  3:15-­‐4:15  pm    This  workshop  will  introduce  participants  to  the  fully-­‐up  and  operational  Conte  Cloud  that  is  available  to  all  Conte  investigators.    The  Conte  Cloud  is  a  Bionimbus  based  cloud  computing  infrastructure  that  is  currently  comprised  of  200  cores  and  225  terabytes  of  raw  storage.  Topics  discussed  at  this  working  group  may  include:  

• What  resources  are  available?  How  to  gain  access  to  the  Conte  Cloud?  How  to  upload  your  own  data  to  the  Conte  Cloud?  

• How  does  cloud  computing  differ  from  standard  clusters;  how  does  the  Conte  Cloud  differ  from  other  cloud  resources?;  security  and  computing  over  protected  data  

• Basic  workflow;  logging  into  the  Open  Science  Data  Cloud  console;  launching  VM;  SSH  to  VM;  computing  

• Discussion  of  data  sets  available  to  all  users:  metadata  and  query  services  • What  analysis  programs  and  tools  are  of  general  interest  to  the  Conte  

community?;  interest  in  community-­‐maintained  VMS?  • Can  we  implement  a  pipeline  for  all  NHGRI  GWAS  result  to  test  for  

enrichment  with  every  GWAS?  • General  discussion  on  next  steps,  expansion,  and  new  features
