The course will focus on human genomics and human medical applications, but the techniques will be broadly applicable across the tree of life. The topics will include genome assembly &amp; comparative genomics, variant identification &amp; analysis, gene expression &amp; regulation, personal genome analysis, and cancer genomics. The grading will be based on assignments, a midterm exam, class presentations, and a significant class project. There are no formal course prerequisites, although the course will require familiarity with UNIX scripting and/or programming to complete the assignments and course project.</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://github.com/schatzlab/appliedgenomics" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/schatzlab/appliedgenomics</a></p>]]></description>

  <title><![CDATA[Two postdoc positions to study multiscale genome evolution and cephalopod gene regulation (University of Vienna, Austria)]]></title>
  <description><![CDATA[
<p>Vienna Biocenter are seeking two postdoctoral researchers to join our team and work on the ERC funded project "METASCALE: Modes of genome evolution during major metazoan transitions". The task of both positions will be to study co-evolutionary trends within animal genomes and their association with the emergence of new gene regulation. Our group employs methods of comparative and regulatory genomics to study the regulatory impact of transitions in animal genome architecture. More recently, we have identified a major genome reorganization in the "smart" coleoid cephalopod molluscs (squid, octopus, cuttlefish) that, together with other genomic changes, potentially comprises a unique path or mode of genome evolution among animals. We are thus interested in quantifying these modes of genome evolution across all available animal genomes and to test whether their shifts are associated with the emergence of novel regulation (e.g., in cephalopods). One of our main model species is the Hawaiian bobtail squid species Euprymna scolopes.  The tasks of the two candidates will be complimentary and highly collaborative with one position focusing on comparative genomics analyses across all metazoans and the other position on regulatory genomics in the squid. A solid background in in bioinformatics and comparative genomics is highly desired for the first position, whereas the second position will benefit from experience in molecular and regulatory genomics methods such as HiC, ATAC-seq, RNA-seq or single cell transcriptomics.</p>

<p>The postdocs will join an international group and network of researchers at the University of Vienna studying a diverse range of species and questions in molecular evolution, development, morphology and genomics. Our group is also part of the large evolVienna network of more than 50 evolutionary biology labs in Vienna, across several universities and research institutes. Our Faculty will be relocating to a new campus at the Vienna Biocenter in summer 2021 (https://biologiezentrum.univie.ac.at/en/). Vienna is a vibrant historic European capital with a high QOL. Information about postdoctoral salaries in Austria can be found on this webpage: https://www.fwf.ac.at/en/research-funding/personnel-costs/</p>

<p>Earliest start date will be after July 2021. Initial term of employment is for two years with the possibility of extension. Remote working, at least initially, is a possibility.</p>

<p>Requirements:<br />- PhD degree or equivalent by the start date <br />- Publishing record in peer-reviewed journals or evidence thereof <br />- At least 2 letters of support</p>

<p>Applications including a letter of motivation should be submitted via the Job Center to the University of Vienna (https://personalwesen.univie.ac.at/en/jobs-recruiting/job-center/,<br />job reference number 11615).</p>

<p>Application deadline: January 15th 2021.<br />Application link: https://univis.univie.ac.at/ebewerbung</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>The genome of 130 mammals was sequenced by a large international consortium and the data was analyzed together with 110 existing genomes to allow scientists to identify the important positions in the DNA. This report, published in Nature today will help advance research on human disease mutations and inform how best to protect endangered species.</p><p>In addition to the knowledge of the human genome, all these genomes, widely sampled across mammals, can be used to research how particular organisms respond to different conditions. Some otters, for example, have a thick, water-resistant shell, and some rodents, but not all, have adapted to hibernation. These animal traits will help us to understand human traits, such as metabolic diseases.</p><p><img src="https://media.springernature.com/lw685/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41586-020-2876-6/MediaObjects/41586_2020_2876_Fig1_HTML.png?as=webp" alt="image" style="border: 0px; border: 0px;"></p><p>With climate change and more animal ecosystems being threatened by human activity, the protection of endangered species is becoming increasingly important. Scientists have historically researched several people in various populations of a species to understand the genetic variation that occurs in that species. This is important for understanding how particular species can be protected. In this study, animals on the Red List of Endangered Species of the International Union for Conservation of Nature had fewer differences in their genomes, which is consistent with their endangered status.</p><p>Ref @&nbsp;A comparative genomics multitool for scientific discovery and conservation&nbsp;https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2876-6</p><p>&nbsp;Data at&nbsp;http://zoonomiaproject.org/</p>]]></description>

<p>Ongoing research in the group of Karine Van Doninck involves topics at the core of<br />evolutionary biology, including the evolution of sex, genome maintenance,<br />recombination and extreme stress resistance on different eukaryotic systems,<br />including rotifers, amoeba and Corbicula clams. We are employing different tools<br />(including experimental ecology, population genetics, phylogeny, comparative<br />genomics, transcriptomics, bioinformatics, molecular and cellular biology) to study<br />evolutionary processes at the level of populations, both experimental and natural, and<br />genomes.</p>

<p>Offer<br />We offer a full-time contract for two years. The contract starts between October 2021<br />and December 2021. The position involves no or extremely light teaching load, if the<br />candidate is interested. Salaries are competitive at the European level. The recruited<br />person will benefit from the Belgian social insurance scheme (health care, etc.) without<br />additional expenses.</p>

<p>Profile<br />Applicants are expected to show outstanding commitment to research and must have<br />obtained a PhD by the start of the position. A strong expertise in genomics is required.<br />More specifically, solid competences in bioinformatics (e.g. scripting pipelines) and in<br />genome evolution are needed. Knowledge or interest regarding recombination,<br />metazoan evolution, phylogenomics and population genomics is an added-value.</p>

<p>Application<br />Applications should be submitted via email to karine.van.doninck@ulb.be. The<br />application package should contain the following documents:<br />- A curriculum vitae with the complete list of publications<br />- A cover letter mentioning why the candidate is interested in the position<br />- Minimum 2 recommendation letters<br />Interviews: Interviews will be conducted with the selected candidates.
