DNA Sequence Data Management System
Budget: £20,000 – £50,000 GBP
I'm looking for a skilled database developer to create a robust system capable of housing thousands of high-throughput DNA sequence datasets. This system needs to accommodate diverse metadata and processed files.
- Metadata: The database should incorporate the following primary types of metadata:
- Sample information: e.g., source, collection date
- Experiment details: e.g., methodologies, conditions
- Analysis results: e.g., quality metrics, annotations
- Access: I need this data to be accessible via a web interface.
- An SQL database currently houses some of the data (screenshots attached). Unfortunately, due to its hard-coded design that requires various deprecated dependencies from 2011-2019, the database can now only be run on a virtual machine with software from 2020 or earlier, and cannot be further developed or used to house any new data. More than 1000 datasets currently need to be added, which include new data types. I would like the existing data and backlog of data to be put into the new database.
The ideal candidate for this project should have extensive experience with database systems, preferably having worked with high-throughput DNA sequence data in the past. They should also be proficient in creating user-friendly web interfaces for data access. Proposals that include preliminary project outlines or similar previous work will be highly regarded.
