    Computational Biologists/Bioinformaticians, University of Cambridge, UK

    Department of Plant Sciences, University of Cambridge, UK

    Computational Biologists / Bioinformaticians

    Vacancy Reference No: PD00228. Salary: £27,578-£35,938 pa
    Fixed-term: The funds are available for 2 years in the first instance
    Full or part time basis

    Professor Baulcombe's laboratory is at the forefront of research into small RNAs and their role in regulation, development and evolution. His group is generating a wealth of data using high throughput sequencing, as well as using genetic and cell biology approaches. There is a particular interest in developing methods for the analysis of large databases of siRNAs and miRNAs in Arabidopsis, Chlamydomonas, tomato and other plants, and for modelling the behaviour of small RNA systems and their effect on gene silencing at the RNA and DNA level.

    Within the laboratory there is a computational biology group that works closely with experimentalists in the lab. We are looking for talented individuals with quantitative and computational skills to join the group.
    Skills in one or more of the following would be an advantage: statistics, computational biology, bioinformatics, programming (R, Perl), databases (mySQL, Postgres). A real interest in biology is essential.

    You should have a higher degree or equivalent in a relevant discipline, with strong quantitative and/or programming skills and a good knowledge of biology.

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2




    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
