Opportunity for MS Bioinformatics and MS Biology students with genome analysis inclinations: Project available for BINF/BIOL MS Project or Thesis to start immediately. Registration for Summer 2014 ends June 6th. This project is also suitable for BIOS PhD Lab rotation but not for PhD dissertation. I would prefer to have two students, BINF and BIOL, who will work as a team and cover various aspects of this project: "The comparative genomics of DLEU7, a longevity gene candidate" the project will include 1) comparative analysis of DLEU7 locus in humans, mice and long-lived animal species - naked mole rat and bowhead whale 2) a bioinformatics analysis of long non-coding DNA antisense encoded by this locus 3) functional analysis of DLEU7 protein protein interactions 4) gene expression dataset mining for DLEU7 -- To apply, contact Dr. Ancha Baranova by e-mail: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Associate Professor, School of Systems Biology George Mason University
