  • Post-doctoral position (Paris, France)

    Post-doctoral position in bioinformatics: next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis for the study of host-viral interaction in dengue infection, Institut Pasteur, Paris, FRANCE.

    The objective is to develop bioinformatics analysis strategies for NGS data, in the framework of a program to study the outcome of dengue infection in relation to both viral and host factors and their interaction. This innovative project involves deep sequencing for determining viral quasi-species and host whole genome expression in many asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals.

    Institut Pasteur is a leading institute both in the study of infectious diseases and in genomics. A multidisciplinary grouping of laboratories, including specialists in virus analysis (Viral Populations and Pathogenesis -- M. Vignuzzi), human genetics (Molecular Viral Pathogenesis -- A. Sakuntabhai), bioinformatics (Genomic Integration and Analysis -- I. Moszer), statistics, and NGS technologies (Transcriptome and Epigenome -- J.-Y. Coppée) provides a perfectly suited work environment to the project.

    The successful applicant will be involved in the development and use of novel methods and tools for handling, analyzing and interpreting NGS data in the context of this program.
    The candidate should have a background in genomics and computing science (PhD degree), including programming capabilities (Java, Python, Perl), relational database expertise (SQL) and skills in bioinformatics methods. Previous experience with large-scale sequence analysis is highly desirable. Knowledge of statistics, viral diversity, or human genetics would be a plus.

    Duration: 2 years, available immediately.

    Salary: depending on qualifications.

    Application (detailed CV, cover letter, references):
    Dr. Ivan Moszer - [email protected]
    Intégration et Analyse Génomiques - http://genopole.pasteur.fr/PF4
    Institut Pasteur, Paris, FRANCE

    Applications will be accepted until February 25, 2011.

    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...
