  • ORISE Bioinformatics fellowship at the FDA

    Description of Work:
    This is a contract fellowship through the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) analyzing whole-genome data from bacterial pathogens associated with foodborne outbreaks. The position is available for two years with possible extension depending on funding.

    Scope of Work:
    1. Managing the public release of FDA generated sequence data (i.e. interfacing with various databases at NCBI).
    2. Analyzing DNA sequences from pathogenic bacterial strains using phylogenetic, population genetic, and comparative genomic approaches.
    3. Assisting in the generation of DNA sequence data using next generation sequencing technologies (Illumina, 454, PacBio, and IonTorrent).

    Requirements:
    1. Experience with DNA sequence analysis
    2. Proficiency working in a linux/unix environment
    3. Expertise with at least one programming language (i.e. perl, python, java, etc.)
    4. At lease some experience with wet bench work (i.e. PCR, DNA sequencing).

    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...
