Obviously, it is important that genes and gene networks are as similar to human as possible for the specific disease in question. In spite of the many efforts, no systematic effort has been made to match which animal model is the most suitable in a given disease context.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Job description: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Methods to search for various degrees of conservation between human and model animals with respect to a range of features will be developed. These will include pathways, gene conservation and gene expression and in all cases include coding as well as non-coding and RNA structured genes and regulatory elements. Adding layers such as disease and tissue associations data for the individual model animals will be compared with human to search for which animal is the best match in a given disease to the corresponding data from human. Thus, the work spans broadly and also involve processing high-throughput data and implementing efficient computational methods for the comparisons. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>The full posting and online application procedure, can be found on </span><a href="http://jobportal.ku.dk/phd/?show=683497"><span lang=EN-GB>http://jobportal.ku.dk/phd/?show=683497</span></a><span lang=EN-GB>.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Best wishes,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Betina<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:9.0pt'>--<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:9.0pt'>Betina Wingreen Jensen<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:9.0pt'>Scientific and Administrative Coordinator<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:9.0pt'>Center for non-coding RNA in Technology and Health<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:9.0pt'>Department of Veterinary Clinical and Medical Sciences<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:9.0pt'>University of Copenhagen<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:9.0pt'>Groennegaardsvej 3<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:9.0pt'>1870 Frederiksberg C<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:9.0pt'>Denmark<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:9.0pt'>Phone: +4535334704<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:9.0pt'>Mob: +4521510932<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
