Project spec: This placement is part of the Environmental Placement Programme – further details can be found online at www.thebep.org.uk/epp The project is to be funded by the Genecom Orphans project and is a collaboration between the Bioinformaticians at Moredun Research Institute and FIOS Genomics, a spin out company from Edinburgh University The idea of the project is to use the genomic sequences of bacterial DNA and to use the SNP and other bioinformatics techniques to analyse the difference between individual genomes thus building a phylogenetic ‘tree’ of the bacterium species. This will enable ready diagnosis of the different strains of the bacteria which is of commercial use to FIOS. The student will be jointly based at MRI and FIOS. The company are ideally looking for a Bioinformatics MSc student (possibly as part of a project dissertation. They would also consider a particularly strong undergraduate. Candidates will have experience of Bioinformatics techniques and programming experience in PERL is essential and experience of JACA desirable.
