Which math/statistics programming language/application do you most frequently use in bioinformatics?

John Parker — Thu, 04 Sep 2014 17:46:41 -0500

I'm doing a bit more statistical analysis on some bioinformatics things lately, and I'm curious if there are any programming languages that are particularly good for this NGS computation. What suggestions do you guys have? Are there any languages that have exceptionally good libraries?

Complete, accurate replication of the genome is essential for life. All chromosomes in eukaryotic cells must be duplicated and then segregated to daughter cells to ensure genetic integrity and produce the large number of cells that make up a multicellular organism. We are using genetic, genomic and computational methods to understand how chromosome replication is regulated to ensure genome stability. By focusing on the basic biology that underpins cell growth and division we aim to provide new insights that may help our understanding of diseases such as cancer and congenital disorders.

How far can bioinformatics go creating organisms used for testing?

Fri, 17 Oct 2014 02:08:16 -0500

"I think you can get very far on a technical level. The problem is that a human body is more complex than just one cell." ... "At some point we still need clinical tests on animals and humans before we use it for real treatment. But we will likely be able to remove 99 % of animal tests in the future." Erik Lindahl, Professor of Theoretical and Computational Biophysics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology is telling us about his work. From the episode "Science for life – mapping the building blocks of the human body".

Graduate research assistantships @ University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL)

Wed, 22 Oct 2014 10:05:31 -0500

Graduate research assistantships in quantitative genetics are available with Gota Morota in the Department of Animal Science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL).

Current projects in the Morota lab include developing kernel-based whole-genome prediction and kernel-based genome-wide association models, polygenic modeling of binary traits, reexamining the results from quantitative genetics analysis in light of functional annotation, and extending kernel methods (such as GBLUP and RKHS) specifically tailored for diverse types of emerging omics data.

In addition, candidates will be expected to leverage opportunities to interact with faculty in animal genetics and biometrics at the UNL in the areas of bioinformatics, breeding, functional genomics, quantitative genetics, and molecular genetics.

Candidates should have a B.S. or M.S. degree in quantitative disciplines with strong background and interest in statistical computing.
The starting date is Fall 2015.
For more information about research in the Morota lab at the UNL, visit: http://www.morotalab.org

A letter of interest in the position, C.V., and contact information for
three references should be emailed to Gota Morota at .
Review of applications will begin immediately, and continue until the
positions are filled. Informal inquiries are also welcome.
