The pipeline will follow previously established and newly
introduced stuffer sequencing criteria. This will include:
Conduct a comprehensive literature review to list all the criteria
to determine stuff sequences and establish new criteria if
needed.
Find the appropriate genomic dataset from the public repository to
run the analyses
Code and run scripts on the AGT AWS system
Knowledge of a programming language (R or Python or Perl
preferable)
Opportunity to network and learn from research (next-generation
sequencing (NGS) technologies)
Opportunity to shadow, train, and contribute to NGS data
analyses
A presentation/poster and report output. Depending on the results,
the identified stuffer sequences will then be validated by
collaborators in vitro, as well as their project Product may expand
to other constructs and programs
Intern Job Responsibilities/Deliverables
Month 1: Overview and training on the AGT AWS system Review
relevant publications on stuffer sequences Based on the literature
search, list the stuffer sequences criteria to computationally
predict sites in the human genome Weekly 1:1 meeting with mentor
