Postdoctoral position is available for three years to work on development of Bioinformatics resources for the analysis and visualization of ribosome profiling data. Ribosome profiling (ribo-seq) is a technology that allows mapping positions of the ribosomes on the whole transcriptome level with a nucleotide precision. The technology allows obtaining high resolution digital snapshots of gene expression in cells. The position is available starting on the 1st of October, 2013.

Candidate is expected to have Ph.D. in Bioinformatics or Computational Biology. Candidates with the degree in non-Biological disciplines such as Computer Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Physics or Electrical Engineering will also be considered.

The position is available at LAPTI (http://lapti.ucc.ie) that is located in the Western Gate Building (http://www.stwarchitects.com/project-information.php?c=1&p=09993) at University College Cork. Western Gate Building Research Complex hosts several UCC departments and provides ideal environment for interdisciplinary research. Cork (sometimes referenced as “Venice of Ireland”) is the second most populous city in the Republic. It has friendly cosmopolitan atmosphere and vibrant culture. A number of American industrial giants such as Apple , EMC and Pfizer have chosen Cork as a home for their European headquarters.

The details of the application process are given at http://lapti.ucc.ie/jobs.html. To ensure prompt processing of your application use the subject line: ‘Postdoc computational’. All applications received prior to August the 1st are guaranteed equal consideration. However, applications at the later dates will also be considered until the position is filled.

Identify pairs of contigs that are syntenic and move one of them to the haplotig 'pool'. The pipeline uses mapped read coverage and Minimap2 alignments to determine which contigs to keep for the haploid assembly. Dotplots are optionally produced for all flagged contig matches, juxtaposed with read-coverage, to help the user determine the proper assignment of any remaining ambiguous contigs. The pipeline will run on either a haploid assembly (i.e. Canu, FALCON or FALCON-Unzip primary contigs) or on a phased-diploid assembly (i.e. FALCON-Unzip primary contigs + haplotigs). Here are two examples of how Purge Haplotigs can improve a haploid and diploid assembly.
