Computational Biologist
The Genome Analysis and Informatics Technology (GAIT) Center at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis is seeking Computational Biologists. Recent advances in DNA sequencing technology promise to usher in a new era of personalized medicine. The current bottleneck is the lack of adequate algorithms and expertise to handle the large amounts of data being generated. The GAIT center seeks to hire individuals to analyze DNA sequencing data in collaboration with biologists and physicians. The ideal candidate has a degree in computer science, biomedical engineering, or biology, is fluent in one or more of the following languages: C, C++, Java, Python, or Ruby, and has taken at least one undergraduate level Genetics class. Please apply to Seth Crosby, scrosby at watson dot wustl dot edu.Last edited by scrosby; 01-06-2010, 05:23 AM.

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...Today, 06:46 AM -
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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
