#transposon — Public Fediverse posts

Discovery of gene functions in #Mycobacterium #tuberculosis has been slow. This study tests a genome-wide barcoded #transposon library across 95 environmental conditions, providing a rich resource of new gene functions, including metabolic & resistance pathways @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4vG0mz1

Finally my #introduction. I am #bioinformatician aspiring to do more #datascience, having my first experience in a Biotech startup.

I like to code, self-taught, and using mostly #RStats, but have dabbled in #python and love the #linux command-line.

My background is in experimental (neuro)biology with a transition to #genomics and #transposon / small RNA biology later on. My CV is best captured in this plot done 100% with code.

Checking out a recent #transposon element finder script: https://github.com/akiomiyao/tef from publication: https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12859-022-05011-3

There's something about being able to find novel elements in known genomes using bunch of #perl scripts in 2022.
