	<title><![CDATA[Oldest Hominin DNA Sequenced]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Matthias Meyer and his team from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, have developed new techniques for retrieving and sequencing highly degraded ancient DNA. They then joined forces with Juan-Luis Arsuaga and applied the new techniques to a cave bear from the Sima de los Huesos site. After this success, the researchers sampled two grams of bone powder from a hominin thigh bone from the cave. They extracted its DNA and sequenced the genome of the mitochondria or mtDNA, a small part of the genome that is passed down along the maternal line and occurs in many copies per cell. The researchers then compared this ancient mitochondrial DNA with Neandertals, Denisovans, present-day humans, and apes.<br /><br />From the missing mutations in the old DNA sequences the researchers calculated that the Sima hominin lived about 400,000 years ago. They also found that it shared a common ancestor with the Denisovans, an extinct archaic group from Asia related to the Neandertals, about 700,000 years ago. "The fact that the mtDNA of the Sima de los Huesos hominin shares a common ancestor with Denisovan rather than Neandertal mtDNAs is unexpected since its skeletal remains carry Neandertal-derived features," says Matthias Meyer. Considering their age and Neandertal-like features, the Sima hominins were likely related to the population ancestral to both Neandertals and Denisovans. Another possibility is that gene flow from yet another group of hominins brought the Denisova-like mtDNA into the Sima hominins or their ancestors.<br /><br /></p><p>Reference</p><p>http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/12/131204132018.htm</p>]]></description>

  <title><![CDATA[The 2014 CeMM PhD Program]]></title>
  <description><![CDATA[
<p>For our next PhD Program starting in October 2014 we are looking for exceptionally motivated PhD candidates with a keen interest in genomics and medicine and a strong interest to work in teams.</p>

<p>The 2014 CeMM PhD Program will focus on two thematic areas: INFECTION and CANCER, that are built on the pillars of epigenetics, bioinformatics and systems biology, chemical biology and the mechanism of action of drugs, high-throughput genetics, genomics and proteomics, and molecular and cell biology.</p>

<p>The choice of this strategic focus rests on the synergies between immunology, infection and cancer in pathophysiological and technological terms. It furthermore reflects the strength of the current CeMM faculty, itself built around the historical and contemporary expertise in immunology and cancer of the Medical University of Vienna.</p>

<p>As a CeMM PhD student you will get the chance to work at the cutting edge of interdisciplinary molecular medicine research and be trained by the entire CeMM and associated faculty to become one of the scientists shaping the future of molecular medicine.<br />Requirements</p>

<p>To be eligible to enroll in the CeMM PhD Program all candidates are required to have a bachelor’s or master’s degree in medicine, biology, chemistry, bioinformatics, mathematics or any scientific/technical, subject-relevant degree. Candidates do not need to have completed their degree at the time of application, however they must have obtained their final degree certificate by mid-September. The working language at CeMM is English, so excellent written and oral communication skills in English are required.<br />Timeline</p>

<p>    Applications open on 20th January and close on 20th March 2014.<br />    Two references are required to be submitted through the online system by 31st March 2014.<br />    All complete candidate applications are reviewed by the CeMM Faculty in early April.<br />    Selected candidates are invited to a Skype panel interview in late April.<br />    Shortlisted candidates are then invited to Vienna in May for a full interview process, including an opportunity to introduce yourself through a presentation and interview rounds, meet research group members, and attend an informal dinner to get to know the Faculty members and learn more about their research.<br />    Positions are offered by CeMM Faculty in June.<br />    Start of PhD Program: 1st October 2014 .</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>There are other popular measures of&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edit_distance" title="Edit distance">edit distance</a>, which are calculated using a different set of allowable edit operations. For instance,</p><ul>
<li>the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damerau%E2%80%93Levenshtein_distance" title="Damerau&ndash;Levenshtein distance">Damerau&ndash;Levenshtein distance</a>&nbsp;allows insertion, deletion, substitution, and the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transposition_(mathematics)" title="Transposition (mathematics)">transposition</a>&nbsp;of two adjacent characters;</li>
<li>the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_subsequence_problem" title="Longest common subsequence problem">longest common subsequence</a>&nbsp;(LCS) distance allows only insertion and deletion, not substitution;</li>
<li>the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_distance" title="Hamming distance">Hamming distance</a>&nbsp;allows only substitution, hence, it only applies to strings of the same length.</li>
<li>the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaro_distance" title="Jaro distance">Jaro distance</a>&nbsp;allows only&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transposition_(mathematics)" title="Transposition (mathematics)">transposition</a>.</li>

Here's just a selection.</p><p><a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Text%3A%3ALevenshteinXS">Text::LevenshteinXS</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Text%3A%3ALevenshtein%3A%3AXS">Text::Levenshtein::XS</a>&nbsp;are both versions of the Levenshtein algorithm that require a C compiler, but will be a lot faster than this module.</p><p>The Damerau-Levenshtein edit distance is like the Levenshtein distance, but in addition to insertion, deletion and substitution, it also considers the transposition of two adjacent characters to be a single edit. The module&nbsp;<a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Text%3A%3ALevenshtein%3A%3ADamerau">Text::Levenshtein::Damerau</a>&nbsp;defaults to using a pure perl implementation, but if you've installed&nbsp;<a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Text%3A%3ALevenshtein%3A%3ADamerau%3A%3AXS">Text::Levenshtein::Damerau::XS</a>&nbsp;then it will be a lot quicker.</p><p><a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Text%3A%3AWagnerFischer">Text::WagnerFischer</a>&nbsp;is an implementation of the Wagner-Fischer edit distance, which is similar to the Levenshtein, but applies different weights to each edit type.</p><p><a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Text%3A%3ABrew">Text::Brew</a>&nbsp;is an implementation of the Brew edit distance, which is another algorithm based on edit weights.</p><p><a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Text%3A%3AFuzzy">Text::Fuzzy</a>&nbsp;provides a number of operations for partial or fuzzy matching of text based on edit distance.&nbsp;<a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Text%3A%3AFuzzy%3A%3APP">Text::Fuzzy::PP</a>&nbsp;is a pure perl implementation of the same interface.</p><p><a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?String%3A%3ASimilarity">String::Similarity</a>&nbsp;takes two strings and returns a value between 0 (meaning entirely different) and 1 (meaning identical). Apparently based on edit distance.</p><p><a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Text%3A%3ADice">Text::Dice</a>&nbsp;calculates&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%B8rensen%E2%80%93Dice_coefficient">Dice's coefficient</a>&nbsp;for two strings. This formula was originally developed to measure the similarity of two different populations in ecological research.</p><pre><span>&nbsp;</span></pre>]]></description>
