PhD Position in DNA Sequence, The University of Queensland, Australia
📋 About This Opportunity
This PhD project aims to develop and apply novel methods for identifying genetic variants causal for human traits and diseases. The primary approach leverages DNA foundational models to improve variant prioritisation, coupled with GPU parallelisation and sub-network isolation to run inference across the entire genome.
