Postdoc Positions - Mammalian Transcriptome Evolution at SIB

Mon, 12 Aug 2013 19:58:33 -0500

BIOINFORMATICS POSTDOC IN FUNCTIONAL EVOLUTIONARY GENOMICS

Center for Integrative Genomics, University of Lausanne, Switzerland

Two postdoctoral positions (2 years with possible extensions up to 5 years) are available immediately in the evolutionary genomics group of Henrik Kaessmann.

We are seeking highly qualified and enthusiastic applicants with strong skills in computational biology/bioinformatics, preferably also with experience in data mining and comparative or evolutionary genome analysis.

We have been interested in a range of topics related to the functional evolution of genomes from primates (e.g., the emergence of new genes and their functions) and other mammals (e.g., the origin and evolution of mammalian sex chromosomes). In the framework of a recently launched series of projects, a large amount of transcriptome and genome (e.g., epigenome) data are being produced by the wet lab unit of the group using next generation sequencing technologies for a unique collection of tissues from representative mammals and outgroup species (e.g., birds). Topics of current projects based on these data include the origins and/or evolution of protein-coding genes, alternative splicing, microRNAs, long noncoding RNAs, and dosage compensation.

The postdoctoral fellow will perform integrated evolutionary/bioinformatics analyses based on data produced in the lab and available genomic data. The specific project will be developed together with the candidate.

The language of the institute is English, and its members form an international group that is rapidly expanding. The institute is located in Lausanne, a beautiful city at Lake Geneva.

For more information on the group and our institute more generally, please refer to our website: http://www.unil.ch/cig/page7858_en.html

Please submit a CV, statement of research interest, and names of three references to: Henrik Kaessmann (Henrik.Kaessmann@unil.ch).

Best practices in bioinformatics training for life scientists

Jitendra Narayan — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:47:34 -0500

Among life scientists, from clinicians to environmental researchers, a common theme is the need not just to use, and gain familiarity with, bioinformatics tools and resources but also to understand their underlying fundamental theoretical and practical concepts.

Machine learning training and courses in bioinformatics !

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 31 Dec 2019 19:33:07 -0600

Machine learning techniques have been successful in analyzing biological data because of their capabilities in handling randomness and uncertainty of data noise and in generalization. In this class, we will learn basics about probabilistic models and machine learning techniques. We will focus on probabilistic models (Markov models, Hidden Markov models, and Bayesian networks) for biological sequence analysis and systems biology. Other machine learning techniques, such as Naive bayes, neural networks and SVMs will only be covered briefly.

Computer Theory & Genetics: George Chao at TEDxUMNSalon

Thu, 15 Aug 2013 22:08:10 -0500

George Chao is an undergraduate senior studying Genetics and Computer Science at the University of Minnesota. Having started genetics research as soon as he entered the university, he has worked in labs spanning multiple disciplines as well as in Japan. Some of these researches include developmental genetics in Drosophila, computational techniques for analyzing protein interactions, and helping with the development of algorithms to analyze motion capture data of patients with neck pain. During this time, George steadily developed a fascination with the field of bioinformatics, the study of using computational techniques to learn from genetic data. He would like to go into a career of research into the application of bioinformatics in various fields. ---- The individuals involved with TEDxUMN have a passion for bringing together the great thinkers at the University of Minnesota and giving them the opportunity to share their ideas worth spreading and to discuss our shared future. We provide these great people the opportunity to share these ideas on a global stage and with an incredibly diverse audience. We believe in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately the world. Check out TEDxUMN at http://www.TEDxUMN.com/ In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
