The Embedded Bioinformatics Support activity allows the research labs to have flexible access to an experienced bioinformatician. A planning is established in agreement with the lab to embed a bioinformatician within the lab at an activity level of 10%-40%. The bioinformatician collaborates with a member of the lab to analyse its data. Consulting hours are also possible at the same conditions.

Terms of access:

  • A desk is available within the host lab for the bioinformatician at scheduled times.
  • A member of the host lab (responsible for the project) is present to collaborate with the bioinformatician at scheduled times.
  • The host lab accepts that the code produced within the lab by the bioinformatician is open. In particular, the code can be used by the platform outside of the lab in other projects without restrictions.
  • The bioinformatician is always acknowledged in the articles resulting from its contribution. There is no obligation regarding authorship: the host lab decides if the contribution is important enough for authorship.
  • Embedded support is possible for a maximum period of 3 months, renewable according to availabilities.
