of bacterial evolution. It will consist of researching theoretical
principles, but could include translational applications. Phylogenomic
and bioinformatic analysis of bacterial populations in nature or
in laboratory experiments will be a key component of the work. Prior
experience is an asset though training will be possible at PMI.
Likewise, laboratory microbiological, molecular, and biochemical
skills are an asset though not essential. Communication and critical
thinking skills are essential for performing the work and for
communicating to the local and international scientific communities.

Northern Arizona University is located in Flagstaff, Arizona, a
beautiful mountain town with a surprisingly vibrant restaurant
scene. Located a little over an hour from the Grand Canyon and ~45
min from Sedona, Flagstaff is a hiker's paradise. In fact, the city
of Flagstaff operates more than 50 miles of unpaved trails and there
are, on average, 266 sunny days per year with which to enjoy them.
At 7000 ft in elevation, Flagstaff experiences all four seasons,
but thesummers are mild and, in the winter, you can be on the ski
slopes within 30 min! https://www.flagstaffarizona.org/

As mentioned, joint projects with Professor Sheppard at Oxford
University are possible, including travel to his laboratory in the
United Kingdom. https://www.biology.ox.ac.uk/people/samuel-sheppard

Shendure Lab

Wed, 09 Oct 2013 14:21:58 -0500

The Shendure Lab is part of the Department of Genome Sciences at the University of Washington (Seattle, WA). The mission of the lab is to develop and apply new technologies in genomics and molecular biology. Most projects in the lab exploit new DNA sequencing technologies (Shendure et al., Nature Reviews Genetics 2004; Shendure & Ji, Nature Biotechnology 2008; Shendure & Lieberman Aiden, Nature Biotechnology 2012), and generally fall into one of six areas: 1) next-generation human genetics; 2) genome contiguity & completeness; 3) massively parallel functional analysis; 4) molecular tagging; 5) synthetic biology; 6) translational genomics. Our interests in each of these areas are outlined briefly below, and a full list of publications is available via PubMed. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?cmd=search&term=shendure

DbBrowser: Attwood Lab

Fri, 18 Oct 2013 10:48:19 -0500

DbBrowser: Attwood Lab research concerns protein sequence analysis, primarily using the method of protein 'fingerprinting'. DbBrowser: Attwood Lab maintain a diagnostic fingerprint database (PRINTS), one of the founding partner of InterPro. We also design software to display sequence and structural data in visually-striking ways (e.g., Ambrosia, CINEMA); DbBrowser: Attwood Lab are building re-usable software components to create semantically integrated bioinformatics applications through UTOPIA, including a 'smart' PDF reader that links bioinformatics databases and tools directly with scientific articles (Utopia Documents); and have developed a number of tools for automatic annotation and text mining (e.g., MINOTAUR, PRECIS, METIS).
