Job Description
Temporary Employee - Non-Exempt
Execution of Visium Spatial Gene Expression (Visium), RNAscope, and related software analysis software - Visium enables RNA sequencing to be performed on tissue sections, thereby maintaining anatomical orientation. This technology combines throughput sequencing with high-resolution microscope to capture the expression pattern in tissue sections, down to a resolution of 1-10 cells. RNAscope is a novel in situ hybridization technique with a special probe designed to amplify target specific signals without background noise from non-specific signals. This technology is sensitive enough to detect a single transcript in a cell.
Image and statistical analysis, using a variety of programs and software that include Keyence microscope and imaging programs; Prism and/or Sigma Plot; R-Swirl; ImageJ; Photoshop adobe and illustrator; Excel and Powerpoint
