Bioinformatics lectures !

Jit — Wed, 29 Nov 2017 05:39:54 -0600

Computational Biology is a huge field of study, that touches upon many distinct algorithmic and biological areas of study. What we are able to cover in this course will depend, in part, on the pace at which we move, which I will attempt to adjust as appropriate. However, here is a tentative list of topics I hope to cover this semester (not necessarily in order).

Optimal sequence alignment (global, local, and glocal alignment &mdash with constant & affine gap penalties
Algorithms and data structures for efficient text indexing and exact search
Heuristics for read alignment and mapping &mdash mapping DNA-seq and RNA-seq reads
Genome assembly &mdash k-mers, De Brujin graph construction and representation, long-read technology and read-overlap graph assembly
Motif finding via Gibbs sampling
Gene finding &mdash statistical models for ab initio and evidence-guided prediction of genes
RNA-seq and transcriptomics &mdash transcript assembly, abundance estimation and differential expression testing
Phylogenetics &mdash The small and large phylogeny problem; parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods

Postdoc Positions - Mammalian Transcriptome Evolution at SIB

Mon, 12 Aug 2013 19:58:33 -0500

BIOINFORMATICS POSTDOC IN FUNCTIONAL EVOLUTIONARY GENOMICS

Center for Integrative Genomics, University of Lausanne, Switzerland

Two postdoctoral positions (2 years with possible extensions up to 5 years) are available immediately in the evolutionary genomics group of Henrik Kaessmann.

We are seeking highly qualified and enthusiastic applicants with strong skills in computational biology/bioinformatics, preferably also with experience in data mining and comparative or evolutionary genome analysis.

We have been interested in a range of topics related to the functional evolution of genomes from primates (e.g., the emergence of new genes and their functions) and other mammals (e.g., the origin and evolution of mammalian sex chromosomes). In the framework of a recently launched series of projects, a large amount of transcriptome and genome (e.g., epigenome) data are being produced by the wet lab unit of the group using next generation sequencing technologies for a unique collection of tissues from representative mammals and outgroup species (e.g., birds). Topics of current projects based on these data include the origins and/or evolution of protein-coding genes, alternative splicing, microRNAs, long noncoding RNAs, and dosage compensation.

The postdoctoral fellow will perform integrated evolutionary/bioinformatics analyses based on data produced in the lab and available genomic data. The specific project will be developed together with the candidate.

The language of the institute is English, and its members form an international group that is rapidly expanding. The institute is located in Lausanne, a beautiful city at Lake Geneva.

For more information on the group and our institute more generally, please refer to our website: http://www.unil.ch/cig/page7858_en.html

Please submit a CV, statement of research interest, and names of three references to: Henrik Kaessmann (Henrik.Kaessmann@unil.ch).

Best practices in bioinformatics training for life scientists

Jitendra Narayan — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:47:34 -0500

Among life scientists, from clinicians to environmental researchers, a common theme is the need not just to use, and gain familiarity with, bioinformatics tools and resources but also to understand their underlying fundamental theoretical and practical concepts.
