  <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>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>MECAT is an ultra-fast Mapping, Error Correction and de novo Assembly Tools for single molecula sequencing (SMRT) reads. MECAT employs novel alignment and error correction algorithms that are much more efficient than the state of art of aligners and error correction tools. MECAT can be used for effectively de novo assemblying large genomes. For example, on a 32-thread computer with 2.0 GHz CPU , MECAT takes 9.5 days to assemble a human genome based on 54x SMRT data, which is 40 times faster than the current&nbsp;<a href="http://cbcb.umd.edu/software/pbcr/mhap/">PBcR-Mhap pipeline</a>. MECAT performance were compared with&nbsp;<a href="http://cbcb.umd.edu/software/pbcr/mhap/">PBcR-Mhap pipeline</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/falcon">FALCON</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="http://canu.readthedocs.io/en/latest/">Canu(v1.3)</a>&nbsp;in five real datasets. The quality of assembled contigs produced by MECAT is the same or better than that of the&nbsp;<a href="http://cbcb.umd.edu/software/pbcr/mhap/">PBcR-Mhap pipeline</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/falcon">FALCON</a>.&nbsp;</p>

	<description><![CDATA[ChopStitch is a new method for finding putative exons and constructing splice graphs using an assembled transcriptome and whole genome shotgun sequencing (WGSS) data. ChopStitch identifies exon-exon boundaries in de novo assembled RNA-seq data with the help of a Bloom filter that represents the k-mer spectrum of WGSS reads. The algorithm also detects base substitutions in transcript sequences corresponding to sequencing or assembly errors, haplotype variations, or putative RNA editing events. The primary output of our tool is a FASTA file containing putative exons. Further, exon edges are interrogated for alternative exon-exon boundaries to detect transcript isoforms, which are reported as splice graphs in dot output format.<p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://github.com/bcgsc/ChopStitch" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/bcgsc/ChopStitch</a></p>]]></description>
