During the first phase of ENCODE, published in 2007, microarray-based technologies were used to detect regions associated with transcription factors, certain histone modifications and open chromatin within a pre-specified 1% of the human genome.

ENCODE’s second phase saw a switch to sequencing-based technologies, the addition of new assay types and the analysis of functional elements genome-wide, described in a collection of research articles in 2012.

The Encyclopedia paper of ENCODE 3, published in Nature, gives an overview of the various assays that were performed in human and mouse cell lines and tissues and describes a Registry of human and mouse candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs).

Metabuli is metagenomic classifier that jointly analyze both DNA and amino acid (AA) sequences. DNA-based classifiers can make specific classifications, exploiting point mutations to distinguish close taxa. AA-based classifiers have higher sensitivity in detecting homology between query and reference sequences, leverageing higher conservation of AA sequences. Metabuli combines the information of both sequence types using a novel k-mer structure, metamer, to enable both specific and sensitive characterization of metagenomic samples. In addition, it can classify reads against a database of any size as long as it fits in the hard disk.

SVbyEye, an open-source R package to visualize and annotate sequence-to-sequence alignments along with various functionalities to process alignments in PAF format. The tool facilitates the characterization of complex SVs in the context of sequence homology helping resolve the mechanisms underlying their formation. Availability and implementation SVbyEye is available at https://github.com/daewoooo/SVbyEye.

The enzyme portal integrates many resources, most of them hosted by EBI and also external ones such as BioPortal. Its main goal is to provide information about enzymes in a suitable format, with a usable interface designed for intended users. Instead of reinventing the wheel, it makes use of available and reliable resources to that end.

Requirements

You are (or soon will be) a master in bio-informatics. You have strong ICT skills and you are eager to fully submerge into the world of protein modeling. You have good experience with Linux and one or more programming languages as well as knowledge of tertiary structure analysis. Candidates with a Master degree in one of the life sciences (Biomedical sciences, Biochemistry, Bio-engineering, Biostatistics, …), with relevant interest and extended experience in this field are also welcome. A general background cancer biology and genetics is needed. You are willing and eligible to apply for a personal PhD fellowship with the Flemish FWO (FWO.be). Therefore, it is required that you hold a master degree from a European university, and have not obtained your master diploma more than three years ago (see FWO website for detailed conditions). Proficiency in English, and good communication skills, both oral and written, are required. You are highly motivated, and you like to work in an interactive research team. You are willing to work on a 4-year PhD project starting beginning of 2020.

What we offer

We offer a one year position, as a PhD student, which can be extended up to 4 year upon positive evaluation, even if a personal fellowship application is not successful. Wages are according to the standard Flemish bursary levels for PhD students.

Interested?
For additional information please contact dr. Geert Vandeweyer. To apply, send a copy of your CV including details of your relevant skills and a motivation letter by e-mail to dr. Geert Vandeweyer (geert.vandeweyer@uantwerpen.be) before March 15, 2020.
