Bioinformatician / Researcher
Lausanne Area, Switzerland
Main tasks included:- developing assembly and analysis pipelines (bash, python)- code versioning and documentation (git, snakemake, markdown)- algorithm development and statistical analysis (python, R)- database management (SQL/mySQL) and system administration (Linux)- writing reports, scientific papers, presenting research- benchmarking bioinformatics software (bash, python)- software installation and maintenance (Linux server)- bioinformatics support to wet-lab biologists (python, R, bash)✔ Researcher (PhD student)My main project focused on the assembly and analysis of the Mediterranean amphioxus (Branchiostoma lanceolatum) genome and transcriptome. In collaboration with the Amphiencode consortium, we built a reference genome with a chromosome-level resolution (hybrid assembly on HiC contact maps), curated its annotation, used orthology-based and expression-based validation methods to get a realistic estimate of protein-coding genes in this organism. Decided to call it quits before the final exam for personal reasons. ✔ Bioinformatician In parallel, I participated to several other genomics projects in genome evolution, gene and genome duplication, structural genomics
