Intern Product Development

Job Location: Austin, TX
Life TechnologiesThe successful candidate will support product development activities for gene expression analysis through next generation sequencing (NGS). The candidate will be required to plan, execute, and clearly document experiments in support of RNA-Seq technology development. Candidates should have a solid educational background in molecular biology or biochemistry as well as some laboratory experience working with nucleic acid isolation and purification. Experience with RT-PCR, siRNA, nucleic acid amplification, or next generation sequencing is a plus. Candidate should be detail-oriented, self-motivated, and display an eagerness to learn.

Throughout the course of the internship, the candidate will be trained in nucleic acid sample preparation and extraction techniques from different biological matrices, PCR, nucleic acid characterization, and library preparation for NGS, and . The candidate will also be required to provide written reports and give oral presentations summarizing experimental results to the research and development team.

Requirements
Intern candidates must be enrolled at an accredited college or university pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD degree. Graduating students are eligible only if they are returning to school the following semester to pursue the next level degree.

    So many questions- is this a paid internship? How long does it last? When does it start?

    • Why am I getting so many unmapped reads in STAR, classified as "too short"?
      I am currently using STAR to map several Hi-SEQ mRNA runs. I'm having trouble getting a decent amount of reads to map, but I don't really understand why. I'm hoping you can shed some light :) In the final log, only about 50% (or less) of the reads map to the reference. I'm using a GTF in addition to the genome. The unmapped bin that most […]

      I have 20 RICE RNA seq tranascriptome data hiseq 2000 platform paired end reads. I aligned fasta reads with BWA and remove PCR duplicates with PICARD. Later I call SNP with samtools using various parameters. I would like to clarify what parameters should I used while alinging to reference rice genome for looking SNP location 100 bp upstream and 250 bp downst […]
    • How do TopHat options -g , --supress-hits, and Bowtie options interplay?
      Hi, I am currently using TopHat2 to map RNA-seq runs. I think there have been some changes pertaining the -g option. Does anyone know how it works now? I used to think that setting -g would look for n alignments for a given read, report them [if top-scoring] and discard those reads that had more than g [top scoring] alignments. Now, the description sounds mo […]
    • What happened to -k in TopHat for multiple-mapping reads?
      Selecting -g n in tophat does not discard reads mapping more than n, but instead only reports n alignments for those out all all their TOP scoring alignments. I think there used to be an option -k that would allow one to discard reads that topped x alignments -- whatever happened to that? I only see -g in the tophat 2 manual, no reporting options like before […]
    • Does tophat use the library-type information for mapping, or just for the XS flag?
      When I specify library-type to TopHat, i.e., first-strand, second-strand, unstranded, TopHat appends a value + or - to the XS:A flag, which is useful for subsequent analyses, such as annotation. However, does this information actually influence the "mappability" of reads, or is this unaffected? My thinking is that the information would be considere […]
    • Purpose of Y-shaped adapters in Illumina Sequencing?
      Hi all, Y adapters different sequences to be annealed to the 5' and 3' ends of each molecule in a library. The arms of the Y are unique, and the middle part, connected to the DNA fragment, is complementary. What are the advantages of this? My take of this over having fully-complementary adapters (ADAPTER1 - - - - - ADAPTER1) is that: -Upon primer a […]
