Hello! ๐ I'm Sophie, a senior computer science student with a passion for bioinformatics. I'm enthusiastic about combining computational techniques with wet lab experiments to unravel the mysteries of life sciences. ๐งฌ๐ฌ
- Current: Senior Computer Science Student in the Early Entry program for Bioinformatics (Schrodinger's Grad Student)
- University: University of North Carolina at Charlotte
- Concentration: Bioinformatics
- Genomic Analysis ๐งฌ
- Front End Design and Accessibility ๐ค
- Computational Biology Algorithms ๐งฎ
- Data Visualization for Biological Insights ๐
- Programming Languages: Python, Java, R/RMarkdown, BASH
- Bioinformatics Tools: Seaview, MrBayes
- Version Control: Git, GitHub
- R Packages: MSA, Phangorn, Phytools
- DeGenPrime: DeGenPrime is a primer design tool compatible with single gene and gene family alignments that unlocks the tree of life like never before. I work on the front end of the program (still currently in development), with a focus on maintaining a eye-pleasing color scheme that is accessible to those with colorblindness or other visual impairments. I understand how scary the command line can be to those that don't have experience with it, so I am working with my PI to create GUIs for our tools, furthering the reach of these computational resources. The DeGenPrime preprint can be accessed at this link.
