  • 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.

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    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...

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
