Job Description:
This person will be working in Technology and Discovery Centers in the Bioinformatics Services Core Department in Tarrytown, NY. The student will participate in a project that entails database ETL activities (Extract Transform Load) from open source databases and internally generated data. There will be learning opportunities in MySQL, Genome Browsers, R, and Shiny as well as REGENERON technologies.

As a foundation to future data integration projects, standard entities need to be indexed in genomic coordinates in order to be retrievable for downstream analysis. Such entities can be biological annotations (genes, transcripts, exons) or lab reagents (deletions, insertions, TaqMan assays, guide RNAs). Bioinformatics Core Services (BiCS) is developing a Genomic Core that will allow for the recovery and presentation of these entities to users via specialized interfaces. Some elements of the Genomic Core already exist in the RUGB (REGENERON UCSC Genome Browser) databases, while others require generation, structuring, and/or integration using existing information within the company.
