Biosystematics, informatics and genomics of the big 4 insect groups: training tomorrow's researchers and entrepreneurs

Design, implementation and testing of a cloud based system for storing and analysis of genomic and metagenomic data of insects

Objectives: A useful system for the storage and analysis of genomic and metagenomic data and a layer on top of Bio4j for facilitating the use of this platform for systematists working with insects. The ESR will be trained in genomics and metagenomics experimental design and Next Generation Sequencing data management. The ESR will be also trained in the use and development of NGS data analysis software and Cloud Computing (AWS) infrastructure. An additional part of the training will be the use, design, developing and testing of innovative and interactive visualization tools for biological Big Data. At last, the ESR will also be trained in data integration and the use of Graph Databases for biological knowledge management.
