Cover Letter:

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the Genome Analyst position at Medgenome. As a Bioscience Post graduate student , I developed a strong foundation in molecular biology, genomics, and bioinformatics, and I am eager to apply my skills in a practical setting.

During my Bioinformatics apprenticeship, I gained hands-on experience in Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), whole genome DNA sequencing, and molecular biology techniques. I also became proficient in Linux environments and shell scripting, which allowed me to work efficiently with large datasets and automate data analysis processes. Additionally, I have gained familiarity with key bioinformatics databases such as NCBI, PUBMED, PDB, OMIM, and Ensembl, which have been invaluable in conducting research and gathering genetic information.

I am particularly interested in the intersection of genomics and drug discovery. Through coursework and projects, I have explored the CADD pipeline and its role in identifying potential therapeutic compounds. I am excited to contribute to drug discovery, NGS and genomic research in a dynamic team environment.

I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to bring my skills and passion for Bioinformatics to Medgenome, and I am eager to contribute to your innovative research efforts. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to discussing how I can contribute to your team.

Sincerely,
Anusha
