Interested in various topics at the intersection of ecology and evolution. In my research I use rotifers as model organisms for experimental studies at the individual and population level. Rotifers are ideally suited for this, because populations of thousands can be kept in small containers in the lab, while single individuals can still be handled conveniently.

Stephen Friend: The hunt for "unexpected genetic heroes"

Sat, 31 May 2014 14:31:47 -0500

What can we learn from people with the genetics to get sick — who don't? With most inherited diseases, only some family members will develop the disease, while others who carry the same genetic risks dodge it. Stephen Friend suggests we start studying those family members who stay healthy. Hear about the Resilience Project, a massive effort to collect genetic materials that may help decode inherited disorders. TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less).

7th ADVERTISEMENT – 2014 (2)

INSPIRE Faculty Scheme: a component of “Assured Opportunity for Research Career (AORC)” under INSPIRE.

The Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, has launched the “Innovation in Science Pursuit for Inspired Research (INSPIRE)” [http://www.inspire-dst.gov.in] program in 2008.

The program aims to attract talent for study of science and careers with research. INSPIRE includes many components. The importance of Assured Career Opportunity in R&D sector has been recognized.

INSPIRE Faculty Scheme opens up an “Assured Opportunity for Research Career (AORC)” for young researchers in the age group of 27-32 years. It offers a contractual research awards to young achievers and opportunity for independent research in the near term and emerge as a future leader in the long term.

Eligibility

Essential Indian citizens and people of Indian origin including NRI/PIO status with PhD (in science, mathematics, engineering, pharmacy, medicine, and agriculture related subjects) from any recognized university in the world,

Those who have submitted their PhD Theses and are awaiting award of the degree are also
eligible. However, the award will be conveyed only after confirmation of the awarding the
PhD degree.

The upper age limit as on 1st July 2014 should be 32 years for considering support for a
period of 5 years. However, for SC and ST candidates, upper age limit will be 35 years.

Publication(s) in highly reputed Journals demonstrating research potential of the candidate.

Desirable

Candidates who are within top 1% at the School Leaving Examination, IIT-JEE rank, 1st Rank Holder either in graduation or post-graduation level university examination (which are used presently for identifying INSPIRE Scholars at under-graduate level and INSPIRE Fellows for doctoral degree)

Rectangle Graph for Repeat Resolution in Genome Assembly

Rahul Nayak — Thu, 28 Dec 2017 09:43:03 -0600

Ultimate tool for resolving repeats in genome assemblies.

Though the specific implementation of the idea of the rectangle graph approach is already included into the current SPAdes distribution, we're also releasing the Rectangle Graph Module (RGM) as the separate code which can be run independently of SPAdes. Although RGM differs from the current implementation of the rectangle graph approach in SPAdes, in the future we plan to integrate RGM in SPAdes. RGM can be run with other genome assemblers if they use the graph format as SPAdes files.

For more details see: Nikolay Vyahhi, Son K. Pham, Pavel Pevzner. From de Bruijn Graphs to Rectangle Graphs for Genome Assembly, Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics 7534 (2012), pp. 249-261.

NCBI Webinar

Jit — Sun, 08 Jun 2014 02:47:01 -0500

In less than two weeks, NCBI will offer a webinar entitled "Introducing 3 NCBI Resources to Navigate Testing for Disease Linked Variants: MedGen, GTR and ClinVar". This webinar will delve into the lifecycle of genetic testing and teach attendees how to navigate the NIH Genetic Testing Registry, ClinVar, and MedGen resources. These resources can be used to prepare for clinical cases, access detailed information about orderable genetic tests, interpret test results, and more.
