PHD SCHOLARSHIP DENMARK

Fri, 13 Jun 2014 13:44:07 -0500

ne PhD position is available at the Bioinformatics Center, Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. The PhD position concerns protein structure prediction, and will be in the Structural Bioinformatics group of Associate professor Thomas Hamelryck. The group is an integrated part of the Bioinformatics Center, which is headed by Professor Anders Krogh, employs around sixty scientists (including PhD students) and focuses on non-coding RNA, eukaryotic gene regulation and protein structure prediction. The center provides a modern, pleasant, international working environment with excellent modern facilities, in the heart of Copenhagen.
The project will be supervised by Associate Professor Thomas Hamelryck.

The protein folding problem is of enormous practical, theoretical and medical importance - and in addition forms a fascinating intellectual challenge. The aim of this project is to develop and implement a probabilistic method to infer the structure of proteins, building on various probabilistic models of protein structure developed by the Hamelryck group. The method will also take the dynamic nature of proteins into account, and involves a close collaboration with the statistics department at the university within the interdisciplinary project "Dynamical Systems: Mathematical Modeling and Statistical Methods for the Social, Health, and Natural Sciences" (http://dsin.ku.dk/).

Qualifications
Knowledge of programming (C++) and statistics or machine learning. Knowledge of biology, physics or biophysics is a plus, but not a requirement.

The deadline for applications is June 15, 2014

STRUM: structure-based prediction of protein stability changes upon single-point mutation

BioStar — Mon, 10 Sep 2018 13:21:49 -0500

STRUM is a method for predicting the fold stability change (ΔΔG) of protein molecules upon single-point nsSNP mutations. STRUM adopts a gradient boosting regression approch to train the Gibbs free-energy changes on a variety of features at different levels of sequence and structure properties. The unique characteristics of STRUM is the combination of sequence profiles with low-resolution structure models from protein structure prediction, which helps enhance the robustness and accuracy of the method and make it applicable to various protein seqences, including those without experimental structures

Sandelin group

Mon, 30 Sep 2013 19:12:58 -0500

Sandelin group have a deep interest in most biology, but focus on gene regulation and the many areas that are connected with this, including transcriptomics, epigenetics and technological and informatics aspects.

The group is both computational and experimental.

We ask biological questions to large datasets made using novel genomics techniques, with the help of computers. One of the strengths in the group are the many connections to high-profile experimental laboratories which supply data to be analyzed.

The main theme of our research is the understanding of how genetic information is decoded from DNA into RNA and proteins. Someone may find this topic a little strange and argue that we already know how this is happening.

Translational recoding.

RNA editing.

Evolution of the genetic code and translation.
