    [Subject: Application for Genome Analyst Position]

    Dear Hiring Manager,

    I am excited to apply for the Genome Analyst position at MedGenome Labs Ltd. With a strong background in molecular biology, microbiology, and bioinformatics, I am eager to join your mission to advance genomic research and clinical diagnostics.

    During my Master of Research (MRes) in Advanced Biological Sciences at the University of Southampton, I had hands-on experience in NGS data analysis, genome sequencing, and variant interpretation. My research focused on microbial genome identification and antibiotic susceptibility, where I applied Sanger sequencing, BLAST analysis, and multiple sequence alignments to detect bacterial species from human microbiomes. I also had experience in R and Python programming for bioinformatics analysis, which enabled the management of large genomic datasets.

    My attention to detail, analytical skills, and ability to work with bioinformatics and laboratory teams make me well-positioned to meet this role’s demands. I am particularly excited about the possibility of working with cutting-edge genome sequencing platforms at MedGenome and assisting in variant analysis, literature curation, and molecular diagnostic assay development.

    I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss how my experience and skills can benefit MedGenome’s mission. Thank you for your time and consideration.

    Sincerely,
