Great Place to Study Bioinformatics in Europe

Rahul Agarwal — Sun, 18 Aug 2013 18:41:34 -0500

Study bioinformatics is like being jack of all trade so it is important you choose where it will be good backup of computer science, and natural science infrastructure and faculty. Especially having a good teachers in computer science is indispensible.

Few places in Europe where good (and @some places no tution fees) master bioinformatics courses and recommended are:

KU Leuven, Belgium

What is the objective of BINC examination?

Neel — Mon, 12 Aug 2013 09:36:53 -0500

I personally did not understand the objective behind BINC examination. Is government only try to show off that they are doing something to promote Indian bioinformatics sector?

Moreover, It looks like BINC indirectly putting an extra burden to bioinformatician, mentally and financially.

Ph.D. Fellowship (Computational Biology/Bioinformatics) : Cork, Ireland : Cork, Ireland

Thu, 15 Aug 2013 14:09:00 -0500

Ph.D. Fellowship (18,000 euro/pa, plus tuition fees at the EU students rate) is available for four 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:
The candidate is expected to have B.S. or M.S. degree in the disciplines such as Computer Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Physics or Electrical Engineering. The candidates with the backgrounds in Life Science disciplines such as Bioinformatics, Computational or Quantitative Biology will also be considered.

Location:
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.

Application process:
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: ‘Ph.D. 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.

Bioinformatics infrastructure speed up Indian agriculture

Rahul Agarwal — Tue, 07 Jan 2014 12:44:44 -0600

"Realizing the paradigm shift it can bring about, the government is focusing on increased bioinformatics intervention in agri-sciences. Currently under process, the national grid on bioinformatics is expected make much better sense out of huge genomic" -

Golden Rules of Bioinformatics

Jitendra Narayan — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 21:11:33 -0500

All constant are variable.
Copy and paste is a genetic error.
First solve the problem, then write the code.
No matter what goes wrong, it will probably look right.
Any simple problem can be insoluble if enough metting are held to discuss it. :P
Stastics is a systematic method of comming to the wrong conclusion with confidence.
Bug is a undocumented feature in programming languages.
Good biological programmer goes on summer holiday with raincoat. [because see 1]
Thanks god Google know python is not a python and multiplication and division are the same thing.
Don' be clever, complex biology will trick you.
