MGI, a subsidiary of global genomics leader BGI Group, announced pricing and its first early access customer for the new ultra high-throughput sequencer, MGISEQ-T7, saying it has driven down sequencing cost to $5 per gigabyte, with exceptionally high accuracy. Such innovations are helping more people to realize the benefits of genomic information.

In October, MGI launched the MGISEQ-T7, a highly flexible production-scale platform that is the most powerful sequencer to date. It can produce as many as 60 whole human genomes in one day. The instrument sells for $1 million.

The T7 enables simultaneous but independent operation of up to four flow cells, which means different applications such as single-cell RNA sequencing, whole exome sequencing and whole genome sequencing can be run in different flow cells at the same time. This helps to reduce costs, allowing MGI to offer the most competitive sequencing price in the market.

Powered by DNBseq™, MGISEQ delivers quality data with accuracy for SNP and Indel calling rate of 99.9% and 99%, respectively, along with decreased duplication rate down to less than 2 percent, and almost zero Index mis-assignment rate.

The Department of Informatics is a vacant position as a researcher in computer science, related to Computational Biology Unit (CBU), for 3 years.

The position is part of CBU Service Group and will focus on bioinformatic analysis project and especially the analysis of high-throughput data, including NGS (sequencing), and proteomics data.

The successful candidate will be part of the Norwegian bioinformatics platform's national helpdesk within the project ELIXIR.NO

Applicants must hold a PhD in a relevant subject such as computer science, mathematics, molecular biology and also possess expertise and experience in bioinformatics statistics and analysis of data from high-throughput molecular experiment.

Basic programming or scripting skills are required. Experience in Python, R, Perl, Linux-based operating systems and moreover knowledge of databases and web programming will be a strength for applicants.

We expect enthusiasm and independence and moreover the ability to work in an interdisciplinary team environment.

Good knowledge of English is required.

Salaries start at level 57 (code 1109/LR 24.1) by appointment. Further promotion occurs after
service seniority in the position (at grade 57-65). Of particularly highly qualified applicants may be considered a higher salary.

Further information about the position is available from the chair of the CBU,
Professor Inge Jonassen, e-mail: Inge.Jonassen @ ii.uib.no

The successful applicant must comply with the guidelines that apply at any given time the position.

State employment shall as far as possible reflect the diversity of the population. It is therefore an objective to achieve a balanced age and sex composition and the recruitment of persons with immigrant backgrounds. Persons with immigrant background are requested to apply for the position.
