The Galaxy Team at Penn State and Emory (http://galaxyproject.org) is looking for ambitious individuals to fill multiple postdoctoral and software engineering positions. Galaxy is used by thousands of researchers worldwide on a daily basis and multiple institutions run local instances of our software. Because Galaxy is primarily a tool and data integration framework, it is ideally suited by analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. The advertised jobs will focus extensively on design of best practice workflows for biological applications of NGS data including re-sequencing, de novo assembly, metagenomics, transcriptome analysis and epigenetics. Our current level of funding provides good job security and our project is well known, enabling excellent possibilities for subsequent career choices. To apply, e-mail cover letter, resume that includes highlights of your biological or software development experience, and contact information for three references to ([email protected]). Galaxy is an open source project committed to the openness of scientific enterprise. It is free for all.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
