  • Bioinformatician job opportunity at Cardiff University

    A highly motivated and enthusiastic full-time bioinformatician is sought to handle and analyse Next Generation Sequence (NGS) data to support biomedical research in Wales.

    You will join an established team of bioinformaticians and laboratory staff within the Genomics Facility of Wales Gene Park. Established 2002, and based in Cardiff University’s School of Medicine, Wales Gene Park supports genomics research throughout Wales. Through our close collaboration with the NHS All Wales Genetic Laboratory, we use HiSeq, MiSeq, and Ion Torrent technologies to generate genomic data to support a diversity of biomedical research in human cancers and medical genetics.

    Alongside our existing team and working closely with ARCCA, the University’s Advanced Research Computing Facility, you will handle, manipulate and analyse NGS data generated by us and external providers. You will provide specialist advice and experimental design expertise to colleagues looking to exploit exome-seq, RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, and whole genome re-sequencing amongst other standard workflows as well as help develop novel NGS workflows. You will also contribute to our various training programmes.

    You will have a postgraduate degree at PhD level in a related subject area or relevant industrial experience. You will be working closely with an established team of bioinformaticians so previous experience of handling Next Generation Sequencing data, whilst desirable, is not essential.

    What is essential is that you have proven experience in writing software code in Perl, Python, Java, C/C++, or similar computer language, have good communication skills, are self motivated, and are willing and able to work accurately to a deadline. You will be expected to work within a Unix command line environment utilising standard pre-existing bioinformatics packages and pipelines as well as your own bespoke software solutions. A background in biological sciences, whilst highly desirable, is not essential.

    Informal enquires should be addressed to Dr Kevin Ashelford ([email protected]).

    This is a full-time position (35 hours per week) and fixed-term until 31st March 2018.
    Salary £31,342 - £37,394 per annum (Grade 6)

    To apply, please visit the Cardiff University Job Opportunities website at http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/jobs/ and search for job reference 3212BR. Or visit directly http://krb-sjobs.brassring.com/TGWEb...60&AReq=3212BR.

    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...
