Bioinformatics of Fruit Fly Genomes
Understanding the location and functions of genes within an organism's genome is useful for scientists to learn more about the relationship between organisms. We look at several features of fruit fly genomes as part of the Genomics Education Partnership. We use online software to make judgements about start and stop sites on exons within the genomes. Students can participate remotely, though sessions with the PI are needed for training and initial workthroughs.

DESCRIPTION The mission of the UCSD Center for Epigenomics is to develop a quantitative and molecular framework to study the function and regulation of the human genome, with the ultimate goal to understand the molecular basis of cancer and other human diseases. Epigenomics is at the forefront of Precision Medicine. The epigenome, a term referring to the state of DNA methylation and the covalent modifications of histone proteins in a cell, plays a central role in regulating the functional output of the genome during development. Changes in the epigenome that result from exposure to stress, pathogenic conditions and during aging can determine the patterns of gene expression and predispose an individual to diseases. Epigenome research promises to significantly improve our understanding of the factors that drive human development and disease. The UCSD Center for Epigenomics will work with researchers on the UCSD campus and beyond to foster the application of epigenomic concepts and technologies to clinical, translational, and basic research. Under the direction of its Senior Associate Director, the incumbent will help in implementing, running, customizing, and optimizing data analysis pipelines for genomic and epigenomic assays such as single cell RNA-seq and single cell ATAC-seq. The incumbent will help to perform integrative data analysis and assist to prepare results for oral presentation, scientific publications, and grant applications.
