	<description><![CDATA[<p>The sequencing, assembly, and basic analysis of microbial genomes, once a painstaking and expensive undertaking, has become almost trivial for research labs with access to standard molecular biology and computational tools. However, there are a wide variety of options available for DNA library preparation and sequencing, and inexperience with bioinformatics can pose a significant barrier to entry for many who may be interested in microbial genomics. The objective of the present study was to design, test, troubleshoot, and publish a simple, comprehensive workflow from the collection of an environmental sample (a swab) to a published microbial genome; empowering even a lab or classroom with limited resources and bioinformatics experience to perform it.</p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://peerj.com/preprints/453.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://peerj.com/preprints/453.pdf</a></p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>HISAT2</strong><span>&nbsp;is a fast and sensitive alignment program for mapping next-generation sequencing reads (both DNA and RNA) to a population of human genomes (as well as to a single reference genome). Based on an extension of BWT for graphs&nbsp;</span><a href="http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2674828">[Sir&eacute;n et al. 2014]</a><span>, we designed and implemented a graph FM index (GFM), an original approach and its first implementation to the best of our knowledge. In addition to using one global GFM index that represents a population of human genomes, HISAT2 uses a large set of small GFM indexes that collectively cover the whole genome (each index representing a genomic region of 56 Kbp, with 55,000 indexes needed to cover the human population). These small indexes (called local indexes), combined with several alignment strategies, enable rapid and accurate alignment of sequencing reads. This new indexing scheme is called a Hierarchical Graph FM index (HGFM).&nbsp;</span></p>

<p>Lecturer/Senior Lecturer (Level B/C) in Synthetic Biology, Research Fellow (Level B) in Synthetic Biology &amp; Lecturer/Senior Lecturer (Level B/C) in Bioinformatics</p>

<p>Apply now Job no: 494553<br />Work type: Continuing full time<br />Vacancy type: External Vacancy, Internal Vacancy<br />Categories: Academic - Teaching and Research</p>

<p>The Faculty of Science is launching a new and innovative branch of biological science at Macquarie University – Synthetic Biology. Synthetic biology combines engineering principles with molecular biological approaches to design and construct biological devices and systems. Recent highlights in this field include the design and synthesis of a functional bacterial genome and a yeast chromosome, and generation of synthetic bacterial cells. The rational synthesis of "designer" organisms yield important insights into how organisms work and has the potential to revolutionise biotechnological applications in areas such as bioenergy and biomanufacturing.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>The goal of the Shasta long read assembler is to rapidly produce accurate assembled sequence using as input DNA reads generated by&nbsp;<a href="https://nanoporetech.com/">Oxford Nanopore</a>&nbsp;flow cells.</p>
<p>Computational methods used by the Shasta assembler include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Using a&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-length_encoding">run-length</a>&nbsp;representation of the read sequence. This makes the assembly process more resilient to errors in homopolymer repeat counts, which are the most common type of errors in Oxford Nanopore reads.</li>
<li>Using in some phases of the computation a representation of the read sequence based on&nbsp;<em>markers</em>, a fixed subset of short k-mers (k &asymp; 10).</li>

  <description><![CDATA[
<p>We are looking for a motivated and autonomous intern to study gene expression in hybrid organisms. The student will work on natural hybrids of two or three different species of fungal endosymbionts of grasses. The pupose of this project is to build software allowing us to identify the genomic origin of expressed genes. To do that, the intern will have to analyze expression data (from RNA-seq) to find SNPs on the sequenced mRNAs allowing to identify from which of the parental genome the expressed gene come from. The data will have to be saved in a database using the standard BioSQL schema.</p>

<p>This job will allow the intern to become more familiar with new biological and bioinformatics tools like next generation sequencing, RNA-Seq data analysis and comparative genomics.</p>

<p>To apply for this position, send the following documents (in PDF format) to Dr Pierre-Yves Dupont (email p.y.dupont@massey.ac.nz):</p>

<p>1. A short cover letter.<br />2. A curriculum vitae, with transcript details.<br />3. The names and contact details of two referees willing to provide a confidential letter of recommendation upon request.</p>

<p>Informal enquiries are welcome. Formal applications are due by Sunday 2nd December 2012.<br />Requirements: </p>

<p>This position requires a good understanding of genetic problems, a good command of at least one scripting language (Perl, Python...), a basic knowledge of MySQL or any relational database management system. Knowledge in biological programming libraries (BioPython, BioPerl, BioRuby...), Java, C++ or any compiled language is an asset but not required. Undergraduate or Master degree is required.<br />Contact Information: </p>
