Position Overview
**Position Objective:** The National Institutes of Health requires contractor support for laboratory and computational analysis of genomic and epigenomic data. The work supports ongoing research involving genotyping, long-range sequencing, and DNA methylation profiling at the National Institute on Aging (NIA) within the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
**Duties and Responsibilities:**
+ Evaluate: Read quality, coverage, and depth and Sample integrity and contamination
+ Flag anomalies and provide preliminary interpretation.
+ Perform DNA extraction from blood, tissue, or cultured cells using established protocols. **1**
+ Conduct genotyping assays (e.g., SNP arrays, PCR-based methods **2**
+ Support long-range sequencing workflows (e.g., library prep and sequencing using long-read platforms such as PacBio or Oxford Nanopore). **3**
+ Perform DNA methylation assays (e.g., bisulfite conversion, array-based or sequencing-based methods).
+ Execut...
