Our work analyzing publicly available microarray and RNA-Seq data identifying transcriptomic responses to antibiotic exposure in TB

Very pleased to get a Harry Smith vacation studentship from Microbiology Society so I can have a great MBiol student come join us for the summer working on some clinical tuberculosis bioinformatics analyses. Love being part of such a supportive society.

Would you like to come and work with us building tools to help resolve the thorny issue of microbial classification? If you would, we have a post available:
