Bioinformatics Jobs: How to Succeed in This Competitive Space

XTalks

Bioinformaticians use a combination of mathematics, computer science and biology to help scientists make sense of the data gathered from research projects. The Human Genome Project could not have succeeded without the use of bioinformatics. Wondering which bioinformatics job is right for you? Bioinformatics Analyst.

UK research partners team up to accelerate MND drug discovery

Drug Discovery World

million to fund a new two-year collaborative partnership with King’s College London (KCL) to validate a portfolio of human genetic driven therapeutic targets for motor neuron disease (MND). The proposed programme uses bioinformatics approaches and experimental models to validate and de-risk a portfolio of potential MND therapeutic targets.

Barley pan-genome: IPK scientists reach milestone on the way to ‘transparent’ barley

Scienmag

Credit: Photo: IPK Leibniz Institute/ Andreas Bähring In order to record all genetic information of an individual, its genome must be completely decoded. IPK scientists and international partners for barley already succeeded in doing this three years ago (Mascher et al.

Deadly white-nose syndrome changed genes in surviving bats

Scienmag

Study has big implications for management of bat populations Credit: Sarah Gignoux-Wolfsohn Scientists have found genetic differences between bats killed by white-nose syndrome and bats that survived, suggesting that survivors rapidly evolve to resist the fungal disease, according to a Rutgers-led study with big implications for deciding how to safeguard (..)

Genes that dance to the circadian rhythm

Scienmag

In 2017, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine went to three scientists who uncovered the molecular mechanisms that control the circadian rhythm, otherwise known as the “wake-sleep” cycle.

Credit: IRB Barcelona In cancer, personalised medicine takes advantage of the unique genetic changes in an individual tumour to find its vulnerabilities and fight it. Many tumours have a higher number of mutations due to a antiviral defence mechanism, the APOBEC system, which can accidentally damage DNA and cause mutations.
