Webinar on 'An integrated RNA and DNA approach to unravel genetic regulation in cancer'

Abstract

Whole exome DNA sequencing (WES) or whole genome DNA sequencing (WGS) allows detection of mutations and polymorphisms in all exonic and genomic regions, respectively, while messenger RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) enables quantitative analysis of gene expression. Mutations in the genome result in diverse transcriptional aberrations that can be missed in a stand-alone WES/WGS analysis. An integration of DNA variant analysis and RNA-Seq analysis enables one to investigate the consequences of genomic changes in the RNA transcripts including germline and somatic changes, imprinting, RNA editing and allele specific expression (ASE). In this webinar, we will demonstrate this integrated approach using Strand NGS to identify high confidence mutations, RNA editing events and ASE in cancer.

About Speaker:

Dr. Veena Hedatale, has a PhD in Plant Genetics from The Radboud University, Netherlands focused on meiosis and recombination. Her prior academic experience at Cornell University was on genetic mapping and gene transformation in Rice. She has worked with Monsanto, and contributed to data mining, database development as well as gene/promoter/pathway discovery for traits related to yield and stress in crop species. At Strand, Veena has worked on Pharmacogenomic analysis of targets and Gene family analysis projects. Currently, she is part of the Strand NGS Application Science team and is involved in the analysis of next generation sequencing data.

NOTIFICATION FOR FACULTY RECRUITMENT – 2013

(Faculty openings in Technology, Science, Architecture and Management at NIT Calicut, Kerala)

National Institute of Technology Calicut, Kerala, established under Act XXIX/ 2007of the Parliament is one of the leading technological institutions in the Country with nearly 6000 students enrolled for various UG, PG and Ph.D. programmes in Technology, Science, Architecture and Management. The Institute invites applications from Indian nationals, possessing consistent excellent academic record, commitment to quality teaching and potential for carrying out outstanding research, for the post of Assistant Professors in various departments against the backlog reserved vacancies for Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), Other Backward Communities (OBC) and Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) and also under open merit quota as detailed below. Candidates belonging to SC, ST and OBC desirous of considering for selection under UR category also shall specifically indicate so in column 4.

Reservation quota for PWDs will be counted against the respective community. Young, meritorious, dynamic and student friendly academicians are welcome to join hands with the existing team in their effort to transform this Institute to a world class educational institution.

Candidates possessing Ph.D. degree will be considered for appointment on contract basis initially.

They will be considered for movement to AGP `7000 after one year of satisfactory performance.

Meritorious candidates possessing M.Tech./M.Phil. (*) with remarkably good potential to carry out outstanding research and already pursuing Ph.D. or aspiring to pursue Ph.D. will also be considered for appointment on contract, initially for a period of 3 years, extendable for a further period of 2 years on a year to year basis or till the candidate acquires Ph.D. degree whichever is earlier. Renewal of contract
will be done on an annual basis, subject to satisfactory progress of Ph.D. work, good conduct and good performance in teaching. Faculty appointed on contract basis will not be treated as regular staff till they are regularized, subject to the conditions stated earlier. The Institute has adopted 4-tier flexible faculty structure recommended by MHRD.
