The research intern will be training and collaborating with Dr. Su's Lab within the Department of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. The research intern will be exposed to a variety of projects that are conducted in Dr. Su's Lab, ranging from projects on performing alignment for NGS data such as RNA-Seq, DNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, and ATAC-Seq data; implementation of R scripts to perform clustering analysis for scRNA-Seq data; or writing scientific manuscripts for publications.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Learn how to use high-performance computing cluster for bioinformatics data analysis. Specifically, write HPC job submission scripts for different bioinformatics data analyses, and perform alignment for NGS data such as RNA-Seq, DNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, and ATAC-Seq data by using HPC cluster. Implement R scripts to perform clustering analysis for scRNA-Seq data. Improve scientific writing skills. Improve verbal communication skills.
