Cover Letter:

I am writing to express my strong interest in joining as a Genome Analyst to contribute to your organization. My research background in Molecular Biology, Microbiology, and protein biology makes me well-suited to contribute meaningfully. During my [hidden], my dissertation titled **“Unveiling the molecular details of HNH nuclease-mediated recognition and cleavage of modified DNA in _M. smegmatis” _**allowed me to explore bacterial mechanisms at the molecular level. Through this project, I:
· Identified active sites and studied the role of divalent metal ions in HNH activity.
· Conducted knockout and complementation experiments to investigate functional modifications.
· Performed growth curve and EOP assays using Mycobacteriophage to study infection dynamics.
These experiences honed my molecular biology skill set, including PCR, Plasmid isolation, DNA/RNA isolation, Recombinant protein expression and purification, Cloning, Western blotting, EMSA, Site-directed mutagenesis, ELISA, Quantitative RT-PCR, Knockout generation, Fluorescence assay, phage infection, PFU estimation, Bacterial culture handling, EOP assay, Plasmid transformation, Spot assay, Handling of _E. coli_ and _Mycobacterium smegmatis_, etc. Additionally, I am proficient in bioinformatics tools, which have been instrumental in analyzing complex biological data. I am confident that these skills will be valuable.
Thank you for the opportunity. I would be delighted to discuss how my background, skills, and aspirations align with the organization. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to your innovative projects.
Sincerely,
Sruti Chandramouli
