Abstract

Working with colleagues in Numerical Genetics at Roslin Institute, the major objective of this project is to assist with use of bioinformatic tools and extraction and analysis of genomic data. The main areas of technical expertise required are in bioinformatics, genomic analysis and statistics. Tasks the postholder undertakes or oversees include: Extraction and interpretation of data from genomic (e.g. sequence, protein, EST, etc) databases. Sequence analysis. Combining information from several databases and other sources using self-written utilities. Analysis of high-throughput genomics data (e.g. SNPs, microarrays). Integration of genetic (e.g. linkage, association) results with bioinformatic resources. Learning and critically evaluating new software tools and packages. Liaison with other members of the project teams and contributing to overall project progress. Reporting of findings to project scientists, funders and other stakeholders Drafting scientific publications arising from this work. Documentation of results obtained and the process by which they were obtained. Contributing to supervision of PhD and other students and visitors. Contributing to training for staff, students and visitors. Additionally, the postholder contributes to the development of new research projects in this field including contributing to new grant applications, keep abreast of the relevant scientific literature and attend scientific seminars and meetings.
