Planteome project is looking for a software and database developer

Submitted by pankaj.jaiswal on Wed, 02/25/2015 - 19:10

There is an immediate opening for a software and database developer to work on the NSF funded Planteome project (www.planteome.org). This open-source computational biology, comparative genomics, and bioinformatics project involves the development and maintenance of databases, software and automated data analysis pipelines. The incumbent will have a proven track record of database development in MySQL (with exposure to Solr, noSQL, and/or MongoDB) and experience developing software in Python, Perl, PHP, and Java.

Oryza glaberrima genome sequence provides evidence for its independent domestication.

Submitted by pankaj.jaiswal on Mon, 08/11/2014 - 12:22

An international team of researchers published their work on Oryza glaberrima (African rice) genome sequence in the journal Nature Genetics (http://www.nature.com/doifinder/10.1038/ng.3044). The work includes genomics analyses of 20 O. glaberrima and 94 O. barthii accessions, which supported the growing hypothesis that O. glaberrima was domesticated in the Niger river region of Africa. The 33,164 protein coding and 701 tRNA genes were identified in the 314 Mb draft genome of O. glaberrima.
