Job Location
Location: Newcastle upon Tyne
Job Description
The Role In this role, you will join the research team of Dr Sarra Ryan in the use of ultra-long-reads and hybrid sequencing approaches to explore highly repetitive DNA sequence in relation to genomic instability in childhood cancer. Highly repetitive DNA is impossible to resolve using conventional short-read sequencing technologies. Your role will facilitate the identification of novel genetic variation in poorly explored genomic regions, and in relation to specific forms of genomic instability and childhood cancer development.
You will work closely with internal and external collaborators to develop laboratory protocols to produce ultra-long reads and sequencing data produced from long read (such as Oxford Nanopore Technologies, PacBio) and short read (Illumina) technologies. Furthermore, you will facilitate the bioinformatic analysis of the data with support from biostatisticians within the group. The bioinformatic work will be performed using high-performance cloud computing solutions.
