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.

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
