Looking for a computational PostDoc to join our lab @UiTNorgesarktis in beautiful Northern Norway through the Artic Marie-Curie PostDoc program (uit.no/project/arctic…).
Successful applicants will be invited to Tromsø (travel and accommodation expenses covered) for a three-day MSCA-PF symposium June 8-10, 2022 (if pandemic allows).
At this event, the candidates will present their past research achievements, discuss future plans with their potential supervisor, and learn how to write a successful MSCA-PF application.
Among them are
- lack of correction for background expression
- different metastatic sites were not analyzed as separate entities
- expression cut-off level for microRNAs to ensure biological relevance are typically not used
We establish a stringent, reproducible and easily expandable bioinformatics pipeline (github.com/eirikhoye/mirn…) that we applied on all previously published (depending on availability) and a large range of novel smallRNA sequencing datasets, altogether 268 datasets.
When reading the great study by Smith et al on the #Tumatpuppy ancient RNA sequencing that used a smallRNA sequencing protocol, we immediately thought to dig deeper in their data for #microRNAs. 2/6 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…
Teaming up with them and @CpgSthlm (@love_dalen), we found microRNAs that showed abundances and nucleotide damage patterns (!) comparable to what had been described from historic, but never before from such ancient, >14 000yrs old RNA samples 3/6
