Cover Letter:
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my enthusiasm for the Junior Genome Analyst position at MedGenome. With a Master’s degree in Biotechnology (earned in 2020) and a strong foundation in bioinformatics, Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), and data analytics, I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to MedGenome’s innovative work in genomics.
Through various courses and projects, I have developed hands-on experience with reference-based genome sequencing and various bioinformatics tools. I have worked with fastqc for quality control, cutadapt for trimming down sequence contamination, hisat2 for alignment, and samtools, cufflinks, cuffmerge, and cuffdiff for data analysis. My academic and project experience has also equipped me with skills in data analytics, where I have utilized Python (Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib) and R (ggplot, plotly, Geo Explorer) to analyze and visualize complex datasets.
In addition to my technical skills, I have gained experience with several bioinformatics databases and tools, including NCBI (Pubmed, Pubchem, Nucleotide, Geo, SRA), UCSC Genome Browser, PDB, and DrugBank. I have conducted molecular docking studies using Patchdock, Firedock, Autodock Vina, PLIP, PyMOL, RasMol, and Open Babel, and I am familiar with networking tools like STRING and Cytoscape, as well as BLAST and MEGA software.
Throughout my academic and project work, I have honed my ability to summarize complex data into actionable insights and prepare detailed reports, scientific manuscripts, and presentations. My soft skills, such as effective communication, problem-solving, innovation, critical thinking, team orientation, and time management, have been key to my success.
I am particularly drawn to MedGenome’s pioneering work in advancing genomics. I am eager to bring my perspective, technical expertise, and passion for genomics to your organization. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my background and skills align with the goals of MedGenome.
Sincerely,
**RITOBRATA SENGUPTA**
