Offer JAE INTRO ICU 2025
If you want to get started in research and are interested in bioinformatics and/or aquaculture, we are looking for candidates to apply for the JAE INTRO ICU 2025 programme in the Nutrigenomics group of the Instituto de Acuicultura Torre de la Sal (IATS).
Our training scheme (Ref. IATS-02), entitled ‘Beyond the genome: the pangenome of a fast-growing farmed population of sea bream’, will study the genetic variability of a farmed population of sea bream that were able to tolerate summer temperature peaks in the Mediterranean of more than 30 degrees without suffering growth losses. We will do this by exploring the possibilities of long read sequencing data for the construction of pangenomes, for the first time in the species. Furthermore, in a multi-omics approach, we will try to integrate this variability with other elements of the population, such as its epigenome, transcriptome and metagenome, all through the use of artificial intelligence techniques.
