  • Bioinformatics Programmer Position at Imperial College London

    Applications are invited for a skilled and motivated bioinformatics programmer to join the Imperial BRC Genomics Facility on the Hammersmith Campus of Imperial College London.

    The Imperial BRC Genomics Facility provides state-of-the-art laboratory and computational support for translational research that harnesses genome information to advance disease diagnostics, prognosis and treatment. The facility provides access to the latest next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms including the Illumina HiSeq 2500 and Illumina MiSeq. It is responsible for the management and processing of NGS data and carries out bioinformatics analysis of large-scale genomic data sets. It develops and maintains computational pipelines for NGS data processing and analysis utilising cutting edge bioinformatics tools and high-performance computing resources.

    You will implement, maintain and operate data management and processing pipelines for next-generation sequencing data generated by the facility. You will work closely with other bioinformaticians in the facility and with staff at the Imperial High Performance Computing Service and Data Centre.

    You will have a degree (or equivalent) in bioinformatics, computer science or a closely related discipline and a good understanding of the application of genome technologies and bioinformatics in the context of genomics and genetics. You should have practical experience with the programmatic processing of large genomic, preferably next-generation sequencing datasets in a Unix/Linux environment including knowledge of relevant data formats and analysis tools.

    Advanced skills in a scripting language such as Perl or Python and shell scripting are a requirement. Experience with working in a high-performance computing environment is desirable; as well as experience with the development of web-based applications or programming in Java.

    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...
