The Galaxy Team at Penn State and Emory (http://galaxyproject.org) is looking for ambitious individuals to fill multiple postdoctoral and software engineering positions. Galaxy is used by thousands of researchers worldwide on a daily basis and multiple institutions run local instances of our software. Because Galaxy is primarily a tool and data integration framework, it is ideally suited by analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. The advertised jobs will focus extensively on design of best practice workflows for biological applications of NGS data including re-sequencing, de novo assembly, metagenomics, transcriptome analysis and epigenetics. Our current level of funding provides good job security and our project is well known, enabling excellent possibilities for subsequent career choices. To apply, e-mail cover letter, resume that includes highlights of your biological or software development experience, and contact information for three references to ([email protected]). Galaxy is an open source project committed to the openness of scientific enterprise. It is free for all.

Targeted sequencing is an effective way to sequence and analyze specific genomic regions of interest. This method enables researchers to focus their efforts on their desired targets, as opposed to other methods like whole genome sequencing that involve the sequencing of total DNA. Utilizing targeted sequencing is an attractive option for many researchers because it is often faster, more cost-effective, and only generates applicable data. While there are many approaches...03-10-2023, 05:31 AM -
Using automation to prepare sequencing libraries isn’t a new concept, and most researchers are aware that there are numerous benefits to automating this process. However, many labs are still hesitant to switch to automation and often believe that it’s not suitable for their lab. To combat these concerns, we’ll cover some of the key advantages, review the most important considerations, and get real-world advice from automation experts to remove any lingering anxieties....02-21-2023, 02:14 PM
