We present methods for the identification of protein-coding genes based on their patterns of nucleotide conservation across related species. We observed the pressure to conserve the reading frame of functional proteins and developed a test for gene identification with high sensitivity and specificity. We used this test to revisit the genome of S. cerevisiae, reducing the overall gene count by 500 genes (10% of previously annotated genes) and refining the gene structure of hundreds of genes. We present novel methods for the systematic de novo identification of regulatory motifs. The methods do not rely on previous knowledge of gene function and in that way differ from the current literature on computational motif discovery. Based on the genome-wide conservation patterns of known motifs, we developed three conservation criteria that we used to discover novel motifs. We used an enumeration approach to select strongly conserved motif cores, which we extended and collapsed into a small number of candidate regulatory motifs. These include most previously known regulatory motifs as well as several noteworthy novel motifs. The majority of discovered motifs are enriched in functionally related genes, allowing us to infer a candidate function for novel motifs.

Our results demonstrate the power of comparative genomics to further our understanding of any species. Our methods are validated by the extensive experimental knowledge in yeast, and will be invaluable in the study of complex genomes like that of human.

The Department of Informatics is a vacant position as a researcher in computer science, related to Computational Biology Unit (CBU), for 3 years.

The position is part of CBU Service Group and will focus on bioinformatic analysis project and especially the analysis of high-throughput data, including NGS (sequencing), and proteomics data.

The successful candidate will be part of the Norwegian bioinformatics platform's national helpdesk within the project ELIXIR.NO

Applicants must hold a PhD in a relevant subject such as computer science, mathematics, molecular biology and also possess expertise and experience in bioinformatics statistics and analysis of data from high-throughput molecular experiment.

Basic programming or scripting skills are required. Experience in Python, R, Perl, Linux-based operating systems and moreover knowledge of databases and web programming will be a strength for applicants.

We expect enthusiasm and independence and moreover the ability to work in an interdisciplinary team environment.

Good knowledge of English is required.

Salaries start at level 57 (code 1109/LR 24.1) by appointment. Further promotion occurs after
service seniority in the position (at grade 57-65). Of particularly highly qualified applicants may be considered a higher salary.

Further information about the position is available from the chair of the CBU,
Professor Inge Jonassen, e-mail: Inge.Jonassen @ ii.uib.no

The successful applicant must comply with the guidelines that apply at any given time the position.

State employment shall as far as possible reflect the diversity of the population. It is therefore an objective to achieve a balanced age and sex composition and the recruitment of persons with immigrant backgrounds. Persons with immigrant background are requested to apply for the position.

Women are particularly encouraged to apply. If the experts find that several applicants have approximately equivalent qualifications, the rules on equal in the Personnel Regulations for Academic Positions will be applied.

University of Bergen applies the principles of public openness when recruiting staff to scientific positions.

Information about the applicant may be made public even though the applicant has requested not to be named in the list of applicants. If the request does not host admitted to the result, the applicant shall be notified of this.

Send application, CV, certificates, diplomas, undergraduate work and a list of publications (list of publications) online by clicking on https://www.jobbnorge.no/jobbsoknet/login.aspx?returnurl=/jobbsoknet/jobapplication.aspx?jobid=95196

You need to upload certified translations into English or a Scandinavian language of appendices, such as diplomas and transcripts.

Applications sent by email to individuals at the institute will not be considered.

Deadline: 9 August 2013
