by Patrick Kemmeren 07 Sep '17

07 Sep '17

Dear all, For those of you who are interested, October 2nd we are organizing our yearly Utrecht Bioinformatics Center symposium. During this symposium we usually have two local speakers as well as two external speakers heavily relying on Systems Biology or Bioinformatics in their research. This year we have Eileen Furlong, head of the Genome Biology Unit at EMBL Heidelberg, Lude Franke from UMC Groningen, Vincent Robert from the Westerdijke fungal biodiversity insitute and Guido van den Ackervecken from Utrecht University. The program has a number of interesting and diverse topics including genome regulation and developmental transitions in Drosophila, reconstructing regulatory networks using single cell eQTLs, identifying virulence genes and monitoring emerging isolates in plants and biodiversity informatics using the largest fungal collection. Details of the program and registration (free of charge) can be found here: https://ubc2017.eventbrite.nl -- Patrick Kemmeren, PhD Principal Investigator T +31 (0)88 972 55 05 | M +31 (0)6 53 11 25 53 Princess Maxima Center * * *Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology* *Location Hubrecht institute*| Uppsalalaan 8 | 3584 CT Utrecht | T +31 (0)88 972 90 00 |***> Website* <http://prinsesmaximacentrum.com/>

Dear all, Open position for a PhD or Postdoc in my lab at the UMC Utrecht to work on the NWO-Vidi funded project: The 4D Genome Atlas - finding noncoding disease driver mutations using genome shape maps. We aim to develop novel methods to cancer-omics data integration using machine learning. The primary focus of the project is to integrate information on the noncoding genome, such as 3D conformation and epigenomic data, with cancer genomics data. We will follow a machine-learning approach to prioritize likely driving noncoding somatic variants. http://www.werkenbijumcutrecht.nl/vacatures/Paginas/phd-student-or-postdoc-… -- Jeroen de Ridder, PhD Associate professor / Principal Investigator | University Medical Center Utrecht - Center for Molecular Medicine | Address: Universiteitsweg 100<x-apple-data-detectors://8>, STR 1.305 | 3584 CG Utrecht, The Netherlands<x-apple-data-detectors://9> | Tel: +31 (0)88 7550406<tel:+31%2088%207550406> | Mob: +31 (0)6 24288813<tel:+31%206%2024288813> | Skype: j_de_ridder | Secretary: Monique van Schaik, M.A.H.vanSchaick(a)umcutrecht.nl<mailto:M.A.H.vanSchaick@umcutrecht.nl>, +31 (0)88 7568312<tel:+31%2088%207568312> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ De informatie opgenomen in dit bericht kan vertrouwelijk zijn en is uitsluitend bestemd voor de geadresseerde.

We have already designed and implemented an advanced prototype offering ontology-based services that hosts 64 ontologies or vocabularies including some reference resources in the domain: Agrovoc, NAL thesaurus, Crop Ontology, etc. One of the challenges when dealing with multiple ontologies is to determine their overlap and align them. >> We are offering a postdoc position to develop ontology mapping capabilities to align AgroPortal ontologies and participate into the international Global Agricultural Concept Scheme (GACS) project. With the experience and technology developed with the YAM++ application (LIRMM’s ontology alignment matcher), we will make AgroPortal a state-of-the-art platform for mapping extraction, generation, validation, evaluation, storage and retrieval by adopting a complete semantic web and linked open data approach and engaging the community for curation.
