Internship Opportunity for Summer Research LUMS Uni Job in Lahore
Project: Design and Development of a Protein Sequence Search Engine for Top-Down Proteomics
Positions are open for summer internships at the Department of Biology (SSE) for work on a bioinformatics project focusing on sequence analysis. This project offers exciting opportunities to learn designing and implementation of algorithms for protein sequence search and analysis. The first phase of the work will include a comprehensive literature review of the state of the art in computational processing of protein sequence data. This will be followed by the software implementation of a string search engine with intelligent fragment matching and scoring capabilities. In the final phase, efforts will be made to expand on and improve the efficiency of the search algorithms implemented during the second phase.
Outcomes: A .NET web service front-end will be created for admitting sequence data from the users and the results will be exported in XML format. C# will be used to implement the core modules of the search engine. Software design will be described using UML in MS Visio.
Place: Computational Biology Lab, 4F-SSE
