Hi! I'm Russell.
I'm a microbiologist who uses graph theory and machine learning to study the relationships that bacteria and archaea form with their host organisms, and lately giant viruses and their hosts. Or, I'm a computer scientist who builds software that uses concepts from evolution to extract knowledge about ecology from large datasets. Or, I'm a data scientist who uses Python to explore biological systems. Or, I'm a physicist that went rouge and defected to the squishy side of science. ...

GERONIMO
Introduction
GERONIMO is a bioinformatics pipeline designed to conduct high-throughput homology searches of structural genes using covariance models. These models are based on the alignment of sequences and the consensus of secondary structures. The pipeline is built using Snakemake, a workflow management tool that allows for the reproducible execution of analyses on various computational platforms.
The idea for developing GERONIMO emerged from a comprehensive search for [telomerase ...
The Regulatory Mendelian Mutation (ReMM) score was created for relevance prediction of non-coding variations (SNVs and small InDels) in the human genome (GRCh37) in terms of Mendelian diseases. This project updates the ReMM score for the genome build GRCh38 and combines GRCh37 and GRCh38 into one workflow.
Pre-requirements
Conda
We use Conda as software and dependency management tool. Conda installation guidelines can be found here:

polya_liftover - sc/snRNAseq Snakemake Workflow
A [Snakemake][sm] workflow for using PolyA_DB and UCSC Liftover with Cellranger.
Some genes are not accurately annotated in the reference genome. Here, we use information provide by the [PolyA_DB v3.2][polya] to update the coordinates, then the [USCS Liftover][liftover] tool to update to a more recent genome. Next, we use [Cellranger][cr] to create the reference and count matrix. Finally, by taking advantage of the integrated [Conda][conda] and ...
