About the Project

Next generation sequencing is an approach which is often applied to sequencing the DNA or RNA from patient derived samples. We use and develop bioinformatic approaches to analyse large datasets to characterise a variety of cancers. The overall aim of this project is to develop, test and implement a variety of tools for the analysis and/or visualization of next generation sequence data. This is a computational project and will suit a student with experience in computer programming. The student will work closely with postdoctoral researchers and computer programmers in the lab.
