impaired bioinformatics graduate student using microarray data for my master’s
thesis aimed at deciphering the mechanism by which the yeast wild type can
suppress the rise of free reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by caloric
restriction (CR) but the Atg15 and Erg6 knockout mutant cannot.</span></p>

magnification. But that makes my visual field very small. Therefore
I need somebody to teach me how to use these programming environments,
especially for microarray analysis, next generation sequencing and constructing
gene and pathway interaction networks.<span style>
</span>This is very difficult for me to figure out without assistance because
Zoomtext, my magnification and text to speech software, on which I am depending
because I am almost blind, has problems reading out aloud many programming
related websites to me.<span style> </span>And even those
websites it can read, it can only read sequentially from left to right and then
from top to bottom.<span style> </span>Unfortunately, this
way of acquiring, finding, selecting and processing new information and
answering questions is too tiresome, exhausting, ineffective and especially way
too time consuming for graduating with a PhD in bioinformatics before my
funding runs out despite being severely limited by my visual disability.<span style> </span>I would also need help with writing a good
literature review and applying the described techniques to my own yeast
Affimetrix microarray dataset because I cannot see well enough to find all
relevant publications on my own.</span></p>

one on one thus saving me time for acquiring new information and skills, which

to continue in my bioinformatics PhD program despite being almost blind?
The tutoring can be done remotely via TeamViewer 5 and Skype. Hence, it
does not matter where my tutors are physically located. Currently I have
tutors in Croatia and UK. But since they both work full time jobs while
working on their PhD dissertation they only have very limited time to teach me
online.<span style> </span>Could you therefore please
forward this request for help to anybody, who could potentially be interested
or, who could connect me to somebody, who might be, because my graduation and
