[Compbio-allhands] SEMINAR ANNOUNCEMENT: Bill Pearson, Nov. 11, 1 pm, BH-212
by Patsy Babbitt 11 Nov '14

11 Nov '14

Seminar notice: Bill Pearson, Univ. of VA School of Medicine Friday, Nov. 14, 1:00 BH-212 Bill works in the areas of computational biology and protein evolution. One of the founders of the field of sequence analysis and its applications for functional inference, he serves on many advisory boards, including that for European Bioinformatics Institute's UniProt, one of the two (with Genbank) primary public database for sequence information and annotation. He wrote the FASTA algorithm, one of the first widely used computer programs for identifying distantly related protein sequences. His approach is widely used to annotate newly sequenced genomes. His current research focuses on improving functional predictions for proteins by integrating annotation and variation information with sequence alignments. Title and abstract: Alignments with Annotations – providing functional information with similarity search Similarity searching with sequence alignment is the most reliable method for characterizing genomes and meta-genomes; sequence alignment algorithms may now be the major consumer of compute cycles in the life sciences. While similarity searching has become dramatically more sensitive over the past 25 years, and the number and diversity of sequences has increased by orders of magnitude, the display of sequence alignments is essentially unchanged. Despite the explosive growth of sequence, variation, and annotation data, and the hyper-connectedness of sequence and annotation databases, popular search programs show the same alignment information that was displayed in 1985. The FASTA search and alignment programs can incorporate functional site annotations, variation data, and domain boundaries Variant annotation allows the alignment score to improve; the domain annotation strategy partitions the alignment score across the annotated domains, reducing the problem of homologous over-extension. Annotation of functional sites allows exploration of the relationship between sequence similarity, active-site conservation, and functional similarity -- Patricia Babbitt Professor, Department of Bioengineering & Therapeutic Sciences and Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences Director, Graduate Program in Biological & Medical Informatics University of California, San Francisco UCSF MC 2550 Byers Hall Room508E 1700 4th Street San Francisco, CA 94158-2330, USA (CA 94158 for direct delivery by courier) Tel +1 (415) 476-3784 Fax +1 415-502-8193 Email: babbitt(a)cgl.ucsf.edu; Web http://babbittlab.ucsf.edu/ Assistant: Ms. Joslyn Polzien, +1 415-514-1214, 415-514-4861 Joslyn.Polzien(a)ucsf.edu

Because of the broader tie-in and the attendant layers of bureaucracy, the approval to search came relatively late, so I am sending out this blanket email. Please note that we will begin reviewing applications immediately, but the final deadline for applications is Dec. 1. > > The text of the advertisement is pasted at the end of this email.

The successful applicant will develop and apply novel computational methods to guide discovery of new functional materials or molecules, and/or understand the properties of complex systems. The search will consider outstanding candidates in all areas of computational chemistry, but greatest needs exist in either (i) electronic structure theory and dynamics, or (ii) computational structural biology. Ideal candidates in area (i) would address fundamental questions to enable rational design of new materials with possible applications in energy harvesting and storage, novel electronic devices, catalysis, or sensing. The ideal candidate in area (ii) would complement and extend existing and emerging experimental methods in biomolecular structure and function, with possible applications in de novo structure prediction, molecular design, or macromolecule-ligand interactions. Successful candidates will demonstrate the potential to be leaders in methods development, but also have strong ties to experiment. Ohio State has a strong tradition in theoretical and computational chemistry, with access to excellent computing resources through the Ohio Supercomputer Center (www.osc.edu) A doctoral degree in Chemistry or Biochemistry is required at the time of application. This position is partially funded by Ohio State's Discovery Themes Initiative, a significant faculty hiring investment in key thematic areas in which the university can build on its culture of academic collaboration to make a global impact. > > The Ohio State University, Ohio’s flagship institution of higher education, is located in Columbus, a growing and affordable metropolitan area of ~1.5 million people with a stable and diversified economy. Columbus is consistently ranked as one of the most attractive cities in which to live and work. General information about the University, College, and community is available through links at: http://www.osu.edu. A curriculum vitae, a description of research experience and future plans, a description of teaching interests, a list of publications, and 3 letters of recommendation should be submitted to https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/5049. Applications will be accepted and reviewed continuously, but to ensure a full review the application materials should be received no later than December 1, 2014. > > The Ohio State University is committed to establishing a culturally and intellectually diverse environment, encouraging all members of our learning community to reach their full potential. We are responsive to dual-career families and strongly promote work-life balance to support our community members through a suite of institutionalized policies.
