There was an interesting interview on the OddLots podcast recently with people who are doing this. They were remarkably sophisticated.

Not to mention that ai lets the domain experts create and test proof of concept implementations themselves. This alone has been a revelation for us and saves a tremendous number of design cycles.

Isn’t the point that if you can identify one naval vessel by this means you can probably identify many?

Codified Genomics - Houston TX codifiedgenomics.com

Codified Genomics is hiring a user interface and HCI developer. We have a massive amount of data to show users and need someone to develop new ways of presenting and interacting with it. Our current user interfaces are written in GWT, so experience with Java and css are important.

The software you write at Codified will directly influence healthcare decisions for thousands of patients. We do clinical genomic variant analysis. We take whole-exome sequence data and predict clinical outcome for the variants we observe in patients, which is then used by clinicians to inform treatment. To do this, we aggregate large amounts of additional data on individual genes and variants, and apply a series of proprietary algorithms.

A willingness to learn is more important to us than a Biology background, but the job will require you to become familiar with the Biology that we're working with.

Codified Genomics - Houston TX (remote OK) codifiedgenomics.com

Software you write at Codified will directly influence healthcare decisions for thousands of patients. We're looking for experienced software engineers who are up to that challenge, and who have a track record of working in an environment that demands a high level of quality.

We do clinical genomic variant analysis. We take whole exome sequence data and predict clinical outcome for the variants we observe in patients, which is then used by clinicians to inform treatment. To do this, we aggregate large amounts of additional data on individual genes and variants, and apply a series of proprietary algorithms. We started with seed funding and are currently profitable with revenue from our first customer.

We're hiring our first engineer. At Codified your responsibilities will be wide - you will probably end up touching every piece of software we write, with an emphasis on the user facing applications. We are currently using GWT and mysql with some scripting in Python. Additionally, you'll help us grow our team over the next few months as we continue to add engineers.

We have a large number of interesting projects under active development, spanning natural language processing, machine learning, user interface design and of course sequence analysis.

We're looking for someone who is experienced, flexible and willing to work outside of their comfort zone. A willingness to learn is more important to us than a Biology background, but the job will require you to learn the basics of the Biology that we're working with.

We're willing to consider remote work for experienced candidates, but preference will be shown to candidates in the Houston area.

We are offering 70k+ salary and equity. Contact us at [email protected]

Interfering with telomere activity is a critical step for cancer progression (see the halmarks of cancer, limitless reproductive potential), so this procedure essentially makes every cell in your body pre-cancerous.

In my opinion, the most amazing part about this is that the way in which telomerase is delivered is via a retrovirus, typically a relative of HIV.
