    Bioinformatics Position for NGS facility

    Job Description:
    The Next Generation Sequencing Unit of Biocant, Portugal (www.biocant.pt), is seeking a Bioinformatician with expertise in the analysis of next generation sequencing data for immediate start.

    The Next Generation Sequencing Unit of Biocant is the first NGS facility in Portugal dedicated to sequencing and data analysis. We are currently equipped with a 454 and an Ion Proton sequencing platforms as well as a powerful scientific computing cluster. The facility operates since 2007 at Biocant, the technological park dedicated to R&D and technology transfer in Life Sciences located at the center region of the country (www.biocant.pt). The NGS Unit collaborates with companies and research groups from the medical to agriculture fields, in challenging projects where massive amounts of data needs to be processed.

    Requirements:
    We are looking for an enthusiastic, self-motivated bioinformatician with a PhD or MSc degree in bioinformatics, computer science, or related disciplines, preferably with experience in next generation sequencing analysis. Knowledge of programming languages (PERL, Python, Java/ C++), statistical packages (R) and SQL database design (MySQL, PostgreSQL) is required in addition to experience of working in UNIX/LINUX.

    The candidate will be responsible for the development and implementation of analysis pipelines for human genomes and exomes, and the maintenance of analysis systems already established for other applications.

    All interested applicants should email a CV to: Conceição Egas cegas-at-biocant.pt
    Salary will be commensurate with experience.

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

    From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
    by SEQadmin2


    Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


    The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
