Postdoctoral Associate - Bioinformatics at Duke University Medical Center

Sat, 10 Aug 2013 18:38:38 -0500

The Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics at Duke University Medical Center is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate for a one year appointment to work on several high-dimensional research projects. The specific goals of the project are to identify genes or molecular markers that are predictive of clinical outcomes in renal and prostate cancer.

Candidates must have: a PhD degree in statistics, biostatistics or bioinformatics, extensive experience in analyzing high-dimensional data (microarray, SNP, CNVs) and of validation approaches. In addition, experience in penalized regression methods, data base manipulation; and strong programming skills in order to conduct Monte Carlo studies and applications (R). Candidate must have excellent communication skills (verbal, written and presentation), a strong proficiency in Linux system.

This position is available immediately and will be filled as soon as possible. Appointment could be extended beyond the first year based on additional funding.

Computational Biology in the 21st Century: Making Sense out of Massive Data

Thu, 29 Aug 2013 08:32:26 -0500

Computational Biology in the 21st Century: Making Sense out of Massive Data Air date: Wednesday, February 01, 2012, 3:00:00 PM Category: Wednesday Afternoon Lectures Description: The last two decades have seen an exponential increase in genomic and biomedical data, which will soon outstrip advances in computing power to perform current methods of analysis. Extracting new science from these massive datasets will require not only faster computers; it will require smarter algorithms. We show how ideas from cutting-edge algorithms, including spectral graph theory and modern data structures, can be used to attack challenges in sequencing, medical genomics and biological networks. The NIH Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series includes weekly scientific talks by some of the top researchers in the biomedical sciences worldwide.

Golden Rules of Bioinformatics

Jitendra Narayan — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 21:11:33 -0500

All constant are variable.
Copy and paste is a genetic error.
First solve the problem, then write the code.
No matter what goes wrong, it will probably look right.
Any simple problem can be insoluble if enough metting are held to discuss it. :P
Stastics is a systematic method of comming to the wrong conclusion with confidence.
Bug is a undocumented feature in programming languages.
Good biological programmer goes on summer holiday with raincoat. [because see 1]
Thanks god Google know python is not a python and multiplication and division are the same thing.
Don' be clever, complex biology will trick you.

Applied Statistics for Bioinformatics using R

Neel — Thu, 30 Aug 2018 03:45:39 -0500

The purpose of this book is to give an introduction into statistics in order to solve some problems of bioinformatics. Statistics provides procedures to explore and visualize data as well as to test biological hypotheses. The book intends to be introductory in explaining and programming elementary statistical concepts, thereby bridging the gap between high school levels and the specialized statistical literature

Taverna Workflow Management System

Madhvan Reddy — Thu, 15 Aug 2013 19:34:32 -0500

Taverna is an open source domain independent Workflow Management System – a suite of tools used to design and execute scientific workflows. Taverna has been created by the myGrid project and is funded through a range of organisations and projects.

The Taverna suite is written in Java and includes the Taverna Engine(used for enacting workflows) that powers both the Taverna Workbench(the desktop client application) and the Taverna Server (which allows remote execution of workflows). Taverna is also available as a Command Line Tool for a quick execution of workflows from a terminal.
