  • Bioinformatician job opportunity at Cardiff University

    A highly motivated and enthusiastic full-time bioinformatician is sought to handle and analyse Next Generation Sequence (NGS) data to support biomedical research in Wales.

    You will join an established team of bioinformaticians and laboratory staff within the Genomics Facility of Wales Gene Park. Established 2002, and based in Cardiff University’s School of Medicine, Wales Gene Park supports genomics research throughout Wales. Through our close collaboration with the NHS All Wales Genetic Laboratory, we use HiSeq, MiSeq, and Ion Torrent technologies to generate genomic data to support a diversity of biomedical research in human cancers and medical genetics.

    Alongside our existing team and working closely with ARCCA, the University’s Advanced Research Computing Facility, you will handle, manipulate and analyse NGS data generated by us and external providers. You will provide specialist advice and experimental design expertise to colleagues looking to exploit exome-seq, RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, and whole genome re-sequencing amongst other standard workflows as well as help develop novel NGS workflows. You will also contribute to our various training programmes.

    You will have a postgraduate degree at PhD level in a related subject area or relevant industrial experience. You will be working closely with an established team of bioinformaticians so previous experience of handling Next Generation Sequencing data, whilst desirable, is not essential.

    What is essential is that you have proven experience in writing software code in Perl, Python, Java, C/C++, or similar computer language, have good communication skills, are self motivated, and are willing and able to work accurately to a deadline. You will be expected to work within a Unix command line environment utilising standard pre-existing bioinformatics packages and pipelines as well as your own bespoke software solutions. A background in biological sciences, whilst highly desirable, is not essential.

    Informal enquires should be addressed to Dr Kevin Ashelford ([email protected]).

    This is a full-time position (35 hours per week) and fixed-term until 31st March 2018.
    Salary £31,342 - £37,394 per annum (Grade 6)

    To apply, please visit the Cardiff University Job Opportunities website at http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/jobs/ and search for job reference 3212BR. Or visit directly http://krb-sjobs.brassring.com/TGWEb...60&AReq=3212BR.

    Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
    by seqadmin


    The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...
