The Laboratory for RNA-Based Lifeforms | UI/UX Science Developer | Toronto, ONSITE | ~1-2mo Contract | RNAlab.ca We're an academic research lab focused on Exploring Earth's Virome, and identifying which viruses could be human disease-causing agents. We are building, Open Virome, an open-source platform to provide scientists with the ability to derive actionable insights from a massive DNA/RNA sequencing database, the Sequence Read Archive (SRA). The SRA houses billions of dollars of data from over 27 million datasets (~100 petabytes raw data) collected over 16 years. By querying, aggregating and displaying relationships between sequencing datasets (and meta-data) and the viruses they contain, we hope to illuminate the hidden universe of viruses all around us.
