Profile bio
About Vijithkumar Vijayan
I am currently based in Tamil Nadu, where I am affiliated with the Department of Biotechnology as a research scholar at Manonmaniam Sundaranar University. My project is supported by DST's INSPIRE wing and focuses on genome assembly of a plant genome using a short-read assembler. This ongoing project has been an exciting challenge and has significantly advanced my expertise in Bioinformatics.Previously, I was engrossed in a genome assembly project involving Linked-reads, a technology that generates clonally-barcoded short-reads to preserve long-range information during assembly. While technically demanding, the quality control of sequencing reads was a major focus. Dr. Ian Sudbery, Assistant Professor for Bioinformatics at the University of Sheffield, UK, provided valuable support in correcting erroneous barcodes, with conceptual guidance from Dr. Peter Chang of Universal Sequencing Technology.Recognizing a lack of sequencing depth, a new sequencing project was initiated in collaboration with the Bioinformatics facility at UCLA, USA. Currently, I'm working with Illumina short-reads and exploring techniques to integrate the previous Linked-reads with the ongoing short-reads for improved genome assembly.Prior to Embarking on my Ph.D. studies, I had been affiliated with the Retina Regeneration Laboratory, supervised by Dr. Rajesh Ramachandran at IISER Mohali. I had been an Integrated Master's student at IISER Mohali, and the project was to do with cutting-edge molecular biology research, in which I studied the role of FOS family genes - especially, c-fos and fosl1 - in Muller glial regeneration of the zebrafish retina. I regard my Master's project as central to my understanding of the major and fundamental molecular biology techniques such as qRT-PCR, gene cloning, mRNA in situ hybridization, and fluorescent and confocal microscopy. In addition, and quite as important as laboratory techniques, I could learn the organizational skills, safety, and hygienic measures that are imperative for a successful molecular biology research.

Research Scholar
I have been associated with Manonmniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli, as a DST - INSPIRE fellow, for the last four years. I am currently a Ph.D. scholar under the guidance of Dr.S Sudhakar, in the department of Biotechnology. We are a small yet leading group that is a stronghold for molecular and regenerative research using earthworms as a model system. Our group has been central to the contribution of whole genome information of the earthworm species Eudrilus eugeniae, and Eisenia foetida. I am currently working on a de novo whole genome assembly project.
