11. Development of innovative tools for rapid phenotypic characterisation of intraspecific diversity of Listeria monocytogenes (Joint supervision PhD)
Host Organizations BioFilm Control (France) and GenXPRO (Germany)
Objectives
1. The ESR will develop an assay to test biofilm phenotype in a large array of food processing-related environmental conditions (salt, acides, disinfectants, preservatives) in BFC facilities. He will be in charge of the development and validation of an in silico virulence assay. This assay will target specific mRNAs in order to estimate the virulence potential of strains of L. monocytogenes. Transcript targets will be selected and tested by qPCR in GXP premises. In the process of validation, virulence results of several strains collected in a humanised mouse model will be compared with the in silico analysis. Once these innovative tools will be validated, intraspecific phenotypic diversity (biofilm and virulence) will be assessed on a collection of environmental and clinical isolates of L. monocytogenes. Genotypic diversity will be assessed under the supervision of GPX.
Expected Results : Adaptation of the BioFilm Ring test R to test food processing environmental conditions. Development of an innovative in silico virulence assay surrogate to animal models. Diversity results will inform stakeholders on the level of health hazard according to the strain. This in turn will help secure food safety all along the shelf life of foodstuff.
Duration (months) 36

ELIGIBLE CRITERIA of Marie Sklokowska Curie actions:
Researchers may be of any nationality
Candidates shall at the time of recruitment by the host organization, be in the first four years (full-time equivalent research experience) of their research careers. Full-time equivalent research experience is measured from the date when a researcher obtained the degree which would formally entitle him or her to embark on a doctorate, either in the co

Initial customers for the HiSeq X Ten System, which will ship in Q1 2014, include Macrogen, based in Seoul, South Korea and its CLIA laboratory in Rockville, Maryland, the Broad Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney, Australia.

“For the first time, it looks like it will be possible to deliver the $1,000 genome, which is tremendously exciting,” said Eric Lander, founding director of the Broad Institute and a professor of biology at MIT. “The HiSeq X Ten should give us the ability to analyze complete genomic information from huge sample populations. Over the next few years, we have an opportunity to learn as much about the genetics of human disease as we have learned in the history of medicine.”

“The HiSeq X Ten is an ideal platform for scientists and institutions focused on the discovery of genotypic variation to enable a deeper understanding of human biology and genetic disease,” Illumina stated. “It can sequence tens of thousands of samples annually with high-quality, high-coverage sequencing, delivering a comprehensive catalog of human variation within and outside coding regions.”

HiSeq X Ten utilizes a number of advanced design features to generate massive throughput. Patterned flow cells, which contain billions of nanowells at fixed locations, combined with a new clustering chemistry deliver a significant increase in data density (6 billion clusters per run). Using state-of-the art optics and faster chemistry, HiSeq X Ten can process sequencing flow cells more quickly than ever before — generating a 10x increase in daily throughput when compared to current HiSeq 2500 performance.

The HiSeq X Ten is sold as a set of 10 or more ultra-high throughput sequencing systems, each generating up to 1.8 terabases (Tb) of sequencing data in less than three days or up to 600 gigabases (Gb) per day, per system, providing the throughput to sequence tens of thousands of high-quality, high-coverage genomes per year. Illumina says the $1,000 includes typical instrument depreciation, DNA extraction, library preparation, and estimated labor.

If you are looking for a new opportunity and have skills within any sector of Bioinformatics with an IT skill then I would love to hear from you. I have various exciting opportunities from programmers to researchers to scientists.
