Scholarship description: The Computer Science Postgraduate research of the department of medical genetics focuses on identifying and understanding the genetic basis of human disease. There are several groups of researchers studying different illnesses such as schizophrenia, diabetes, congenital malformations and cardiovascular disorders. http://www.callforpapersinfo.com
http://thescholarshipprogramme.com In our group, we use the next-generation sequencing state-of-the-art (NGS) in combination with enrichment technology.Computer Science Postgraduate Genomic NGS technique will be used to detect all types of genetic variants - CNVs, structural variation, indels and SNP - in the pre-genomic -selected that can be causal to the disease. iii) Application of NGS technology in routine clinical diagnosis. While short-term focus will be on target discovery of causal genetic variation, long-term agenda of major challenges about personal genomics applications.
