11 Jan '08

Séminaire CIP, vendredi 11 janvier, 10H30, local 1.75 (B6c) BioBIKE, un environnement bioinformatique intégré et accessible par le Web pour lanalyse comparative de génomes Arnaud Taton, Jonny Casey, JP Massar, Bogdan Mihai, John Myers, Nihar Sheth, Mark Slupesky, Mike Travers, Peter Seibel, Jeff Shrager & Jeff Elhai Center for the Study of Biological Complexity, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA Ces dernières années, les biologistes ont été confrontés à une quantité trop importante de données. Cette masse de données génomiques, protéomiques et autres données expérimentales est précieuse, mais la convertir en connaissance requiert une intervention humaine. Ce processus peut être facilité mais non automatisé. BioBIKE (Biological Integrated Knowledge Environment) est un outil pour rassembler les données intéressant les biologistes et analyser ces données de manière nouvelle et créative. BioBIKE comprend une base de données pour un groupe homogène dorganismes (ex. bactéries photosynthétiques, virus) et un environnement de programmation. Il connaît les concepts communs de biologie moléculaire (e.g. traduction et orthologues), il offre une interface commune pour plusieurs outils bioinformatiques (ex. RNAz, MEME et PHYLIP) et peut combiner lanalyse de génomes avec des données de microarrays, les domaines Pfam, les cycles métaboliques et dautres informations disponibles à partir de diverses ressources (ex. KEGG et GenBank). Accessible via le Web et inclus dans une interface graphique, BioBIKE a la flexibilité et le potentiel dun langage de programmation (ex. pour effectuer des tâches répétitives et créer de nouveaux outils) mais permet aux biologistes sans expérience en programmation de programmer lordinateur pour réaliser des analyses suggérées par le problème. Plusieurs instances BioBIKE sont publiquement opérationnelles pour les Streptococci, les virus, les bactéries photosynthétiques. Les cyanobactéries feront lobjet de ce séminaire. *************************************************************************************************** CIP ( <http://www.ulg.ac.be/cingprot/>http://www.cip.ulg.ac.be<http://www.ulg.ac.be/cingprot/>/) Institute of Chemistry Sart Tilman B6 University of Liège B-4000 Liège, Belgium Tel: 32 4 366 38 56 / 33 87 Fax: 32 4 366 33 64 !!!!Visit the website of Micromat, MIDI-CHIP, LAQUAN, B-BLOOMS, AMBIO: <http://www.nerc-bas.ac.uk/public/mlsd/micromat/>www<http://www.nerc-bas.ac.uk/public/mlsd/micromat/>.nerc-bas.ac.uk/public/mlsd/micromat/ , http://www.cip.ulg.ac.be/midichip/ www.LAQUAN.UGent.be, www.bblooms.ulg.ac.be, www.ambio.ulg.ac.be Eager to eat cyanobacteria in space? look at http://ecls.esa.int/ecls/?p=melissa Belgian polar research cluster BE-POLES : http://www.belspo.be/belspo/BePoles/index_en.stm *****************************************************************************************************

Postdoc position: Integrative cancer bioinformatics
by Lodewyk Wessels 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

======================================= Integrative cancer bioinformatics: Postdoc position. ======================================= About the position: ============== Basic cancer research through the development of appropriate model systems such as mice, rats and cell lines is a field of special interest within the Netherlands Cancer Institute. Ultimately, the goal is to combine this information with human tumor data in order to deliver personalised treatment to patients. Recent developments in high-throughput genomic technologies have made it possible to significantly further this research by unraveling the role of large numbers of genes in important cellular processes. These technologies include, amongst other, high-throughput high content screening (HTHCS) and insertional mutagenesis screens. In HTHCS, a large RNAi library in combination with cell-based assays, fluorescence-based reagents, automated fluorescence microscopy and image analysis are employed to study complex cellular phenotypes. In HTHCS one can study the consequence of inactivation of large numbers of individual genes, in a collection of individual cells, measured by multiple cellular parameters. In retroviral insertional mutagenesis, retroviruses integrate in the genome of (genetically manipulated) mice, causing tumors by either activating oncogenes of de-activating tumor suppressors. By studying the genomic distribution patterns of the viral integration sites and the gene expression of associated tumors, valuable information about genes and pathways involved in tumorigenesis can be obtained. Each of these technologies generates large, heterogeneous, complex datasets. Currently, many of these datasets are simply employed to extract an interesting new hit (e.g. a putative new oncogene) from a screen. By performing an integrative analysis of the data we want to work towards developing a 'systems level' understanding of the pathways and processes involved in tumorigenesis. The computational challenges that need to be addressed include the development of: 1) integrative models for 'experiment specific' data and 'experiment independent' data to identify pathways and interactions between pathways relevant to tumor development; 2) approaches to associate (perturbations to) the identified pathways to phenotypic outcomes; 3) cross-species comparisons to translate findings from model systems (cell lines and mouse models) to the human system, and integration of the findings from model systems with data from human tumors to predict outcome and therapy response. About the candidate - requirements: =========================== Ph.D in a relevant computational discipline such as Computer Science, Statistics, Engineering, Applied Mathematics or Physics with experience in Bioinformatics and/or Machine learning. Applicants that hold a Ph.D in the life sciences, but with substantial experience in bioinformatics are also encouraged to apply. The researcher appointed in this position will function as a liaison between the Bioinformatics group and the research groups within the Netherlands Cancer Institute performing the screens. About the employer: =============== The position is embedded within the Bioinformatics and statistics group lead by Dr Lodewyk Wessels (http://bioinformatics.nki.nl) This group closely collaborates with the groups of Drs Rene Bernards, Roderick Beijerbergen, Anton Berns, Maarten van Lohuizen and Laura van 't Veer on the topics listed above. The candidate will also be closely interacting with these groups on the relevant topics. Research in the Netherlands Cancer Institute covers all major areas of cancer research, with special emphasis on mouse models, mouse (reverse) genetics, cell biology, immunology, translational research requiring close collaboration between clinical and basic scientists and epidemiology and psychosocial cancer research. Employment conditions: ================= The employment conditions follow general employment rules as laid down in the 'CAO' for hospitals. The salary will be determined depending on education and experience. Want to find out more? ================= For further information about the position please contact Dr. Lodewyk Wessels, tel. +31 20 512 7987 or e-mail: l.wessels(a)nki.nl How to apply: ========== Applications for this position should include a Curriculum Vita with the names and contact information of two professional references that can be contacted for further information.

Research pogrammer position
by Lodewyk Wessels 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

=========================================================== High-throughput, high-content support platform: research programmer position. =========================================================== About the position: ============== The recent developments in functional genomic technologies have made it possible to unravel the role of large numbers of genes in important cellular processes. A powerful new technology is based on RNA interference (RNAi) by which the expression of individual genes can be silenced through small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). The combination of RNAi with cell-based assays in high- throughput screening (HTS) will yield valuable new insights for the detection and treatment of disease. Several platforms have been developed to systematically examine the consequence of inactivation of individual genes in cell-based assays. In order to study more complex cellular phenotypes, High-Content Screening (HCS) was introduced. HCS defines the role of targets in cellular processes by combining fluorescence-based reagents, automated fluorescence microscopy and image analysis to automatically extract temporal and spatial information about multiple parameters within single cells. By combining HCS and HTS, it is now possible to study the consequence of inactivation of large numbers of individual genes, in large numbers of individual cells, measured by multiple cellular parameters. The implementation of HCS in HTS generates a wealth of data that will require a dedicated support platform. The challenges involved in this project include 1) efficient handling of the sheer volume of data (a relatively small screen already produces 150 000 images, each 1.4 Mb in size) and to do this across different locations; 2) processing of the images to extract the relevant parameters; 3) the integration of these parameters with other high-throughput data sources to extract new biological knowledge and 4) providing capabilities to enable users to effectively visualize and browse the database. It is essential that the platform include a flexible database or data warehouse infrastructure. The platform will provide web services, support for software development, and set software standards. The support platform will be developed based on the GRID and VL-e infrastructure as established by the Netherlands Bioinformatics Centre. To help build this support platform we are looking for a scientific programmer, who will participate in the design and implementation of the platform and the required software tools. About the candidate - Requirements: =========================== 1. HBO, Bachelor or Masters degree in either informatics or biology with a clear programming component; 2. Experience with dfatabases, webservices and workflow management systems, programming (C, Java, Python, Perl and/or Shell programming, Unix) and/or experience with bioinformatics / biostatistics software (R, Matlab) is preferred; 3. Good communication and interpersonal skills to facilitate collaboration with clinicians and biologists with very diverse scientific and statistical background. 4. Good command of English. About the employer: =============== The position is embedded within the groups of Dr Roderick Beijersbergen who is head of the NKI Robotics and Screening Center (NRSC) (http://www.screeninc.nl) and the Bioinformatics and statistics group lead by Dr Lodewyk Wessels (http://bioinformatics.nki.nl) These groups closely collaborate with the Central Microarray facility at the NKI-AvL, which has ample experience in constructing databases for expression data. Research in the Netherlands Cancer Institute covers all major areas of cancer research, with special emphasis on mouse models, mouse (reverse) genetics, cell biology, immunology, translational research requiring close collaboration between clinical and basic scientists and epidemiology and psychosocial cancer research. Employment conditions: ================= The employment conditions follow general employment rules as laid down in the CAO for hospitals.
