=='''Bioinformatician / computational biologist position in yeast biology & next generation sequencing''' ==<br />
Laboratory of Biology of Yeast Colonies (www.natur.cuni.cz/~zdenap), Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague is seeking applicants for researcher position in the field of bioinformatics.<br />
DESCRIPTION:<br />
BIOINFORMATICIAN / COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGIST POSITION funded by Czech-Norwegian Research Program is available at the Group of Biology of Yeast Colonies (www.natur.cuni.cz/~zdenap), Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague, Vinicna 5, Prague, Czech Republic, being a part of new scientific center of excellence “Biotechnology and Biomedicine Center of the Academy of Sciences and Charles University in Vestec”.<br />
The Research Group is interested in different aspects of yeast multicellularity including questions related to topics of cell ageing, stress defense, adaptation and longevity. The research of the group currently follows two main lines: i) Development, differentiation and signaling of yeast colonies as a model of a primitive multicellular organism, with the main goal to identify the regulatory networks and signals involved in the phenotypic differentiation between the different types of chronologically aged cells developing within the colony (related to Mol Cell 46: 436-448, 2012). ii) Development, defense strategies and signaling pathways involved in formation of biofilm colonies of wild yeast (related to J Cell Biol. 194:679-87, 2011). The candidates (i.e. bioinformaticians / computational biologists, alternatively informaticians / statisticians / big data analysts) should be interested in applying their skills in both research directions; in particular, the challenges of integrating the DNA, RNA and epigenetic data obtained by next-generation DNA/RNA sequencing methodology. The project will produce a unique dataset where the cells have been characterized at the fundamental levels of molecular biology (genetics, epigenetics and expression). We envisage that such a complete dataset will facilitate unique novel insights into the biology of the yeast model system. The bioinformatician will be expected to play a central role in data processing, integration and analysis.<br />
QUALIFICATION AND EXPERIENCE: Candidates should be comfortable at the unix / linux command line and preferably also able to write bash scripts. The candidate should also be able to program in at least one of the following languages: perl, python, java, c++, and be familiar with statistical software (preferably R). Familiarity with high through-put sequencing software is a plus: mapping tools (e.g. bwa, novoalign), expression quantification (e.g. tophat), variant calling (e.g. GATK), peak calling (e.g. MACS). Last, but not least, the candidate should be interested in applying these quantitative skills to biological data.<br />
ELIGIBILITY, HOW TO APPLY: The applicants should have good command of English and preferentially a PhD; however, researchers who have completed University education without PhD, proficient in the tools described above, are also encouraged to apply. Please send your motivation letter, CV, list of publications (including IF and the number of citations) and reference contacts directly to the group leader Zdena Palkova (zdenap@natur.cuni.cz). The contract is available from January 1, 2015 (or by appointment) and finishes at April 2017.<br />

Laboratory of Biology of Yeast Colonies (www.natur.cuni.cz/~zdenap), Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague is seeking applicants for researcher position in the field of bioinformatics.<br />
DESCRIPTION:<br />
BIOINFORMATICIAN / COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGIST POSITION funded by Czech-Norwegian Research Program is available at the Group of Biology of Yeast Colonies (www.natur.cuni.cz/~zdenap), Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague, Vinicna 5, Prague, Czech Republic, being a part of new scientific center of excellence “Biotechnology and Biomedicine Center of the Academy of Sciences and Charles University in Vestec”.<br />
The Research Group is interested in different aspects of yeast multicellularity including questions related to topics of cell ageing, stress defense, adaptation and longevity. The research of the group currently follows two main lines: i) Development, differentiation and signaling of yeast colonies as a model of a primitive multicellular organism, with the main goal to identify the regulatory networks and signals involved in the phenotypic differentiation between the different types of chronologically aged cells developing within the colony (related to Mol Cell 46: 436-448, 2012). ii) Development, defense strategies and signaling pathways involved in formation of biofilm colonies of wild yeast (related to J Cell Biol. 194:679-87, 2011). The candidates (i.e. bioinformaticians / computational biologists, alternatively informaticians / statisticians / big data analysts) should be interested in applying their skills in both research directions; in particular, the challenges of integrating the DNA, RNA and epigenetic data obtained by next-generation DNA/RNA sequencing methodology. The project will produce a unique dataset where the cells have been characterized at the fundamental levels of molecular biology (genetics, epigenetics and expression). We envisage that such a complete dataset will facilitate unique novel insights into the biology of the yeast model system. The bioinformatician will be expected to play a central role in data processing, integration and analysis.<br />
QUALIFICATION AND EXPERIENCE: Candidates should be comfortable at the unix / linux command line and preferably also able to write bash scripts. The candidate should also be able to program in at least one of the following languages: perl, python, java, c++, and be familiar with statistical software (preferably R). Familiarity with high through-put sequencing software is a plus: mapping tools (e.g. bwa, novoalign), expression quantification (e.g. tophat), variant calling (e.g. GATK), peak calling (e.g. MACS). Last, but not least, the candidate should be interested in applying these quantitative skills to biological data.<br />
ELIGIBILITY, HOW TO APPLY: The applicants should have good command of English and preferentially a PhD; however, researchers who have completed University education without PhD, proficient in the tools described above, are also encouraged to apply. Please send your motivation letter, CV, list of publications (including IF and the number of citations) and reference contacts directly to the group leader Zdena Palkova (zdenap@natur.cuni.cz). The contract is available from January 1, 2015 (or by appointment) and finishes at April 2017.<br />

=='''Postdoctoral position for yeast experimental evolution available in the Sherlock lab @ Stanford, posted November 2014''' ==<br />
The Sherlock lab has a postdoctoral position available immediately to work on experimental evolution using yeast as a model system. We have developed a lineage tracking system, which allows us to follow cultures as they evolve, and determine when new beneficial mutations emerge. The goal of the project is to understand how the beneficial mutation rate and the distribution of fitness effects, as well as the identity of the beneficial mutations themselves, changes due to a different, more fit founding genotype in an experimental evolution. Experience with yeast is strongly desired, and ability to program and perform data analysis would be beneficial. Please see:<br />

=='''Bioinformatician / computational biologist position in yeast biology & next generation sequencing''' ==<br />
Laboratory of Biology of Yeast Colonies (www.natur.cuni.cz/~zdenap), Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague is seeking applicants for researcher position in the field of bioinformatics.<br />
DESCRIPTION:<br />
BIOINFORMATICIAN / COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGIST POSITION funded by Czech-Norwegian Research Program is available at the Group of Biology of Yeast Colonies (www.natur.cuni.cz/~zdenap), Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague, Vinicna 5, Prague, Czech Republic, being a part of new scientific center of excellence “Biotechnology and Biomedicine Center of the Academy of Sciences and Charles University in Vestec”.<br />
The Research Group is interested in different aspects of yeast multicellularity including questions related to topics of cell ageing, stress defense, adaptation and longevity. The research of the group currently follows two main lines: i) Development, differentiation and signaling of yeast colonies as a model of a primitive multicellular organism, with the main goal to identify the regulatory networks and signals involved in the phenotypic differentiation between the different types of chronologically aged cells developing within the colony (related to Mol Cell 46: 436-448, 2012). ii) Development, defense strategies and signaling pathways involved in formation of biofilm colonies of wild yeast (related to J Cell Biol. 194:679-87, 2011). The candidates (i.e. bioinformaticians / computational biologists, alternatively informaticians / statisticians / big data analysts) should be interested in applying their skills in both research directions; in particular, the challenges of integrating the DNA, RNA and epigenetic data obtained by next-generation DNA/RNA sequencing methodology. The project will produce a unique dataset where the cells have been characterized at the fundamental levels of molecular biology (genetics, epigenetics and expression). We envisage that such a complete dataset will facilitate unique novel insights into the biology of the yeast model system. The bioinformatician will be expected to play a central role in data processing, integration and analysis.<br />
QUALIFICATION AND EXPERIENCE: Candidates should be comfortable at the unix / linux command line and preferably also able to write bash scripts. The candidate should also be able to program in at least one of the following languages: perl, python, java, c++, and be familiar with statistical software (preferably R). Familiarity with high through-put sequencing software is a plus: mapping tools (e.g. bwa, novoalign), expression quantification (e.g. tophat), variant calling (e.g. GATK), peak calling (e.g. MACS). Last, but not least, the candidate should be interested in applying these quantitative skills to biological data.<br />
ELIGIBILITY, HOW TO APPLY: The applicants should have good command of English and preferentially a PhD; however, researchers who have completed University education without PhD, proficient in the tools described above, are also encouraged to apply. Please send your motivation letter, CV, list of publications (including IF and the number of citations) and reference contacts directly to the group leader Zdena Palkova (zdenap@natur.cuni.cz). The contract is available from January 1, 2015 (or by appointment) and finishes at April 2017.<br />

<br>'''About this newsletter:'''<br \><br />
<br>This is the Fall 2014 issue of the quarterly SGD newsletter. The goal of this newsletter is to inform our users about new features in SGD and to foster communication within the yeast community. You can also subscribe to SGD's RSS feed to receive updates on SGD news: http://www.yeastgenome.org/feed<br \><br />
<br />
==SGD User Survey==<br />
<br />
<p><br />
We are preparing for our grant renewal due to be submitted next spring. For a successful application we need your opinion and experience with SGD. Please fill out our survey <b>[https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FL86HRX here]</b>!<br />
</p><br />
<br />
==New and improved Locus Summary pages==<br />
<p><br />
We are pleased to announce that the redesign of our gene-specific pages, which has been ongoing over the past year, is now complete with the release of the reworked Locus Summary page. The page contains all of the information on the previous Locus Summary page and more, and has a more modern look and feel. Note that the order and organization of the sections has changed and the order of the tabs across the top of the page has changed as well. The new elements on the page include a navigation bar on the left to take you to the different sections of the page, a redesigned map showing genomic context in the sequence section, and a new interactive histogram summarizing expression data. Biochemical pathway information now appears in its own section (see an [http://www.yeastgenome.org/locus/S000005446/overview#pathway example]) and we have added a History section to replace the previous Locus History tab. If there are no data of a particular type (for example, Pathways), then that section is absent from the page.<br />
</p><br />
Please explore this new page and [http://www.yeastgenome.org/cgi-bin/suggestion send] us your feedback.<br />
<br />
[[File:lsp1.jpg|720px|link=http://www.yeastgenome.org/locus/ADH1/overview]]<br />
<p></p><br />
<br />
==Redesigned Expression pages==<br />
<p><br />
The Expression pages have been redesigned and now include a clickable histogram depicting conditions and datasets in which the gene of interest is up- or down-regulated. Expression data are derived from records contained in the [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/ Gene Expression Omnibus], and datasets are assigned one or more categories to facilitate grouping, filtering and browsing. Short descriptions of the focus of each experiment are also provided. The PCL files generated for each dataset are used to populate the expression analysis tool [http://spell.yeastgenome.org SPELL]. Also included on the pages are network diagrams which display genes that share expression profiles. The Expression pages provide seamless access to the [http://spell.yeastgenome.org SPELL] tool at SGD, as well as external resources such as [http://cyclebase.org Cyclebase], [http://www.germonline.org/index.html GermOnline], [http://transcriptome.ens.fr/ymgv/index.php YMGV] and [http://func.mshri.on.ca/yeast/ FuncBase].<br />
</p><p><br />
Please explore these new pages, accessible via the Expression tab on your favorite Locus Summary page, and [http://www.yeastgenome.org/cgi-bin/suggestion send] us your feedback.<br />

<br />
==New Sequence, Chromosome, and Contig pages==<br />
<p><br />
New Sequence pages are now available in SGD for virtually every yeast gene (e.g., [http://www.yeastgenome.org/locus/HMRA1/sequence HMRA1 Sequence page]), and include genomic sequence annotations for the Reference Strain [http://www.yeastgenome.org/strain/S288C/overview S288C], as well as several Alternative Reference Genomes from strains such as [http://www.yeastgenome.org/strain/CENPK/overview CEN.PK], [http://www.yeastgenome.org/strain/RM11-1a/overview RM11-1a], [http://www.yeastgenome.org/strain/Sigma1278b/overview Sigma1278b], and [http://www.yeastgenome.org/strain/W303/overview W303] (more Alternative References coming soon). Each page includes an Overview section containing descriptive information, maps depicting genomic context in Reference Strain S288C (as shown below) and Alternative Reference strains, as well as chromosomal and relative coordinates in S288C.<br />
</p><br />
<br />
[[File:nex_seqTab_2014.jpg|720px|link=http://www.yeastgenome.org/locus/S000000694/overview]]<br />
<br />
<p><br />
The sequence itself includes display options for genomic DNA, coding DNA, or translated protein.<br />
</p><br />
<p><br />
Also available on each Sequence page are links to redesigned S288C [http://www.yeastgenome.org/contig/S288C_Chromosome_3/overview Chromosome] pages, links to new [http://www.yeastgenome.org/contig/W303_W303_contig00042/overview Contig] pages for Alternative Reference Genomes, and a Downloads menu for easy access to DNA sequences of several other industrial strains and environmental isolates. The new Sequence, Chromosome, and Contig pages make use of many of the features you enjoy on other new or redesigned pages at SGD, including graphical display of data, sortable tables, and responsive visualizations. The Sequence pages also provide seamless access to other tools at SGD such as [http://www.yeastgenome.org/cgi-bin/blast-sgd.pl BLAST] and [http://www.yeastgenome.org/cgi-bin/web-primer Web Primer]. Please explore these new pages, accessible via the Sequence tab on your favorite Locus Summary page, and [http://www.yeastgenome.org/cgi-bin/suggestion send] us your feedback.<br />
</p><br />
<br />
==New fungal homolog data at SGD==<br />
<p><br />
Have you ever wondered about the role played by the homolog of a particular yeast gene in other fungal species? SGD’s advanced search tool, [http://yeastmine.yeastgenome.org/yeastmine/begin.do YeastMine], can now be used to find homologs of your favorite <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> genes in the pathogenic yeast, <i>Candida glabrata</i>. There are now 25 species of pathogenic and non-pathogenic fungi in YeastMine, including <i>S. cerevisiae</i>.<br />
</p><p><br />
The fungal homologs of a given <i>S. cerevisiae</i> gene can be found using the template called “[http://yeastmine.yeastgenome.org/yeastmine/template.do?name=Gene_FungalHomologs&scope=global Gene –> Fungal Homologs.]” Fungal homology data comes from various sources including [http://fungidb.org/ FungiDB], the [http://cgob.ucd.ie/ Candida Gene Order Browser] (CGOB), the [http://ygob.ucd.ie/ Yeast Gene Order Browser] (YGOB), the [http://candidagenome.org Candida Genome Database] (CGD), the [http://aspergillusgenome.org Aspergillus Genome Database] (AspGD) and PomBase, and the results link directly to the corresponding homolog gene pages in the relevant databases.<br />
</p><p><br />
A results table is generated after each query and the identifiers and standard names for the fungal homologs are listed in the table. As with other [http://yeastmine.yeastgenome.org/yeastmine/templates.do YeastMine templates], results can be saved as lists for further analysis. You can also create a list of yeast gene names and/or identifiers using the updated [http://yeastmine.yeastgenome.org/yeastmine/bag.do Create Lists] feature that allows you to specify the organism representing the genes in your list. The query for homologs can then be made against the custom gene list.<br />
</p><p><br />
All of the new templates that query fungal homolog data can be found on the YeastMine Home page under the “Homology” tab. This template complements the template “[http://yeastmine.yeastgenome.org/yeastmine/template.do?name=Gene_Homologs&#038;scope=global Gene → Non-Fungal and <i>S. cerevisiae</i> Homologs]” that retrieves homologs of <i>S. cerevisiae</i> genes in humans, rats, mice, worms, flies, mosquitos, and zebrafish.<br />
</p><p><br />
We invite you to watch SGD’s YeastMine Fungal Homologs [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LvVDcc1SYE video tutorial] for tips on accessing Fungal Homolog data at SGD. You can view all Video Tutorials for YeastMine [http://www.yeastgenome.org/help/video-tutorials/yeastmine here].<br />

==SGD at the Yeast Genetics Meeting==<br />
<br />
<p>In late July, SGD staff members traveled to the University of Washington in Seattle to attend the premier meeting of the yeast research community: the Yeast Genetics Meeting, organized by the Genetics Society of America. This conference brought together almost 600 researchers and educators with an interest in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other yeasts.<br />
</p><br />
<p><br />
SGD’s table at the poster sessions was a popular gathering spot for discussion about SGD and hands-on demonstrations. We also presented a well-attended and lively workshop session on several different SGD tools and resources. And we were very gratified to receive a round of applause from conference attendees at the final banquet, when keynote speaker Anita Hopper publicly thanked SGD’s P.I. Mike Cherry and staff for our service to the yeast community.<br />
</p><br />
<p><br />
We chronicled the meeting in tweets, and you can view them by searching Twitter with the hashtag #YEAST14. In addition, check out this entertaining, photo-filled [https://storify.com/GeneticsGSA/2014-yeast-genetics-meeting-highlights recap of the meeting] from our friends at GSA.<br />

The fungal homologs of a given <i>S. cerevisiae</i> gene can be found using the template called “[http://yeastmine.yeastgenome.org/yeastmine/template.do?name=Gene_FungalHomologs&scope=global Gene –> Fungal Homologs.]” Fungal homology data comes from various sources including [http://fungidb.org/ FungiDB], the [http://cgob.ucd.ie/ Candida Gene Order Browser] (CGOB), the [http://ygob.ucd.ie/ Yeast Gene Order Browser] (YGOB), the [http://candidagenome.org Candida Genome Database] (CGD), the [http://aspergillusgenome.org Aspergillus Genome Database] (AspGD) and PomBase, and the results link directly to the corresponding homolog gene pages in the relevant databases.<br />
</p><p><br />
A results table is generated after each query and the identifiers and standard names for the fungal homologs are listed in the table. As with other [http://yeastmine.yeastgenome.org/yeastmine/templates.do YeastMine templates], results can be saved as lists for further analysis. You can also create a list of yeast gene names and/or identifiers using the updated [http://yeastmine.yeastgenome.org/yeastmine/bag.do Create Lists] feature that allows you to specify the organism representing the genes in your list. The query for homologs can then be made against the custom gene list.<br />
</p><p><br />
All of the new templates that query fungal homolog data can be found on the YeastMine Home page under the “Homology” tab. This template complements the template “[http://yeastmine.yeastgenome.org/yeastmine/template.do?name=Gene_Homologs&#038;scope=global Gene → Non-Fungal and <i>S. cerevisiae</i> Homologs]” that retrieves homologs of <i>S. cerevisiae</i> genes in humans, rats, mice, worms, flies, mosquitos, and zebrafish.<br />
</p><p><br />
We invite you to watch SGD’s YeastMine Fungal Homologs [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LvVDcc1SYE video tutorial] for tips on accessing Fungal Homolog data at SGD. You can view all Video Tutorials for YeastMine [http://www.yeastgenome.org/help/video-tutorials/yeastmine here].<br />

==SGD at the Yeast Genetics Meeting==<br />
<br />
<p>In late July, SGD staff members traveled to the University of Washington in Seattle to attend the premier meeting of the yeast research community: the Yeast Genetics Meeting, organized by the Genetics Society of America. This conference brought together almost 600 researchers and educators with an interest in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other yeasts.<br />
</p><br />
<p><br />
SGD’s table at the poster sessions was a popular gathering spot for discussion about SGD and hands-on demonstrations. We also presented a well-attended and lively workshop session on several different SGD tools and resources. And we were very gratified to receive a round of applause from conference attendees at the final banquet, when keynote speaker Anita Hopper publicly thanked SGD’s P.I. Mike Cherry and staff for our service to the yeast community.<br />
</p><br />
<p><br />
We chronicled the meeting in tweets, and you can view them by searching Twitter with the hashtag #YEAST14. In addition, check out this entertaining, photo-filled [https://storify.com/GeneticsGSA/2014-yeast-genetics-meeting-highlights recap of the meeting] from our friends at GSA.<br />
