Our laboratory is interested in understanding signalling and spatiotemporal dynamics of 3‐Dimensional genome architecture and gene expression during embryonic stem cell differentiation by utilizing a combination of cellular, molecular genetics, Biochemical and computational tools in combination with next generation sequencing based chromatin structure analysing methods. Successful candidates shall pursue project related to either experimental or computational analysis of genome and Epigenomics data derived from human and mouse cells. Experience in Computational biology, bioinformatics, statistics, machine learning and algorithmic development is required. Knowledge of programming languages (e.g. C, C++, Perl, Python, Ruby etc.) and statistical framework (e.g. R, matlab, etc.) is preferable. Basic understanding of molecular biology will be an added advantage.

Interested candidates with the above mentioned qualification can send their curriculum vitae to Dr. K. Sreenivasulu, Department of Animal Biology, School of Life Sciences, South campus, University of Hyderabad or via email at positionssklab@gmail.com or svksl@uohyd.ernet.in.

Candidates with CSIR/UGC/ICMR/DBT/BINC qualifications if interested in above mentioned area of research are welcomed to approch principal investigator for a position leading to PhD. Last date for submission of applications is 17/06/2016. Eligible candidates will be called for an interview and they should carry all original certificates of the qualifying exam. No TA/ DA will be paid for attending the interview or at the time of joining the post.

Calculate how much sequencing you need to hit a target depth of coverage (or vice versa).

Instructions: set the read length/configuration and genome size, then select what you want to calculate.

Written by Stephen Turner, based on the Lander-Waterman formula, inspired by a similar calculator written by James Hadfield. Coverage is calculated as C=LN/G and reads as N=CG/L where C = Coverage (X),L = Read length (bp), G = Haploid genome size (bp), and N = Number of reads. Source code on GitHub.
