    RESPONSIBILITIES

    Computercraft seeks a highly skilled and self motivated bioinformatics curator to join the Epigenomics Project at the National Library of Medicine (NLM), National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). The successful candidate will work alongside scientific experts to help develop the Epigenomics public data resource.

    • Serve as a liaison between NCBI and other research groups
    • Contribute to site development issues including data visualization and analysis tools

    ABOUT THE PROGRAM

    The Epigenomics Program is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Roadmap Initiative. Epigenetics is an emerging field of science that involves the study of changes in the regulation of gene activity and expression that are not dependent on gene sequence. While epigenetics refers to the study of single genes or sets of genes, epigenomics refers to more global analyses of epigenetic changes spanning the entire genome. The hypothesis of the NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Program is that the origins of health and susceptibility to disease are, in part, the result of epigenetic regulation of the genetic blueprint. One facet of the Program is to create a public data resource to accelerate the application of epigenomics approaches. To learn more about the Program go to: http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/epigenomics/
