    Description: A bioinformatics postdoc position is available at the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute. Our research group is interested in examining gene expression (from RNA-seq data) at multiple time-points to understand expression changes that occur over time and how they may influence clinical symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. We are also interested in examining a potential role for long non-coding (lnc) RNAs as epigenetic regulators of expression over time, and their influence on clinical phenotypes. The successful candidate is expected to take a lead role in the bioinformatics analysis of RNA-seq data (coding and lnc RNAs) from multiple data points to evaluate changes in expression, and to perform statistical analyses to assess associations with clinical phenotypes. Co-expression analyses will also be involved. For further info on the project, see www.RApregnancy.org.

    Qualifications: Applicants should have a Ph.D. in bioinformatics, computational biology, statistics or similar field, and must be proficient in statistical and scripting programming languages. Preference will be given to candidates with prior experience in analyses of RNA-seq data, other omics data, and co-expression analyses.

    To Apply: Email cover letter, CV and contact info for 3 references to Damini Jawaheer, Ph.D. ([email protected])

    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.
