What We Do

We snake through bioinformatics topics using Python and R programming with the aim of reproducibility and scalability. Mainly, our focus is on creating Rshiny apps, python libraries, command-line tools, and genomics pipelines.

Here are a few topics we're interested in:

  • RNASeq analysis & visualization
  • Orthology inference
  • R package management and R environment management
  • Development of command-line tools for genomics pipelines
  • Improving the reproducibility of microbiome analysis

We recently (October 2018) participated in hackseq18 in which our project, beRi, was the winner!

Github Projects

Here are a few of our github projects.

beRi

beRi is a set of Python packages which is composed of an R virtual environment manager (renv), an R installation manager (rinse), and an R utility tool for installing and managing R packages and R package libraries (rut).

OrthoEvolution

OrthoEvolution is an easy to use and comprehensive python package which aids in the analysis and visualization of orthologous genes.

htseq-count-cluster

A python cli/wrapper for running multiple qsub jobs with HTSeq's htseq-count script on a SGE/SGI cluster.
