    Senior Bioinformatics Developer

    The Human Genome Sequencing Center (HGSC) at Baylor College of Medicine seeks an enthusiastic individual to work with software in a rapidly evolving research environment to support the advance of next generation sequencing technology and genomics research.

    As one of three large-scale sequencing centers funded by the National Institutes of Health, HGSC provides a unique opportunity to work with cutting-edge genomic scientists, and new clinical sequencing initiatives.

    Responsibilities:
    *Perform analysis, design, implementation, documentation and unit testing of software for the standard pipelined analysis of next generation sequencing data including large dataset integration.
    *Participate in the design, implementation, testing, and deployment of extensions of the existing production QC and analysis systems, as well as new versions of them.
    *Provide support of the existing production sequence QC and analysis systems, including the resolution of custom user and data retrieval requests.
    *Follow prescribed practices for software version control, testing, and release engineering.
    *Apply analytical skills and creativity to solve diverse and challenging problems.
    *Communicate regularly with customers and supervisory staff about plans, designs and progress.
    *Ability to prioritize, organize and delegate various tasks on projects.
    *Present technical and analytical status in weekly meetings and contribute to publications.

    Required: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Biological Sciences. Preferred: Master's degree in domain informatics (computational biology, computational chemistry, bioinformatics, clinical informatics).

    Required: Three years of experience in bioinformatics software development or a Master's degree in Computer Science or Biological Sciences and one year of domain-relevant science experience in biology, genetics, physics, statistics, or health sciences.

    Strong computational/programming skills; including extensive experience with the following: UNIX environment; Clustered computing: (MOAB/Torque, PBS, or LSF familiarity) and parallelization in a cluster environment; Next-generation analysis toolkits (PICARD, GATK, Samtools, etc.). Advanced skills in two programming languages including Ruby, Java, or Perl.

    Preferences:
    *Familiarity with multi-processing/threading methods, and workflow/pipeline tools.
    *Experience producing code documentation.
    *Exposure to statistical analysis of large datasets.
    *Experience integrating software with LIMS.
    *Ability to handle and prioritize multiple software requirements.
    *Ability to function independently and solve technically complex problems.

    Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
    by SEQadmin2



    Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

    Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
    by SEQadmin2



    Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

    There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

    Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by GATTACAT
    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
