The second day of Seed Week was packed with workshops designed to equip us with essential skills and insights in research and science communication. We began with a workshop led by Jagan L on the topic of Git. He explained why Git is so valuable for researchers, emphasising its importance in version control, collaboration, and managing large datasets or projects over time. He also guided us through the basics of working on Git, which gave me a solid foundation for managing and tracking my own research work more efficiently. The next workshop was led by Berty Ashley working on muscular dystrophy. His session took a unique approach by focusing on making science more engaging and accessible through memes and visualisations. He emphasised the importance of science communication, demonstrating how sharing complex scientific concepts in a relatable way can increase public interest and understanding. His methods reminded me that effectively communicating science is just as important as conducting the research itself. In the third workshop, Ekant Kannam Salim Shaikh Arpita Ganguly and I worked together as a team to search for gene-related data effectively. We were given specific genes to explore, including the ABCB1 gene, and tasked with finding relevant information. This hands-on experience in PubMed taught me more about navigating databases and retrieving specific genetic information, an essential skill in bioinformatics. Overall, Day 2 provided both technical skills and new perspectives on making science more engaging, highlighting the balance between rigorous research and effective communication.

Over the past few weeks, I've embarked on an exciting journey into the world of bioinformatics, leveraging advanced workflow management systems to streamline genomic analyses. As part of my coursework on E-learning FutureLearn, under the guidance of my educator Ruth Nanjala, I've gained hands-on experience with cutting-edge tools that are revolutionizing the field. In Week 2 of the course, I was introduced to the concepts of workflows and workflow management systems, particularly Nextflow. This powerful tool has significantly simplified the process of performing complex bioinformatics tasks. Rather than running individual commands manually, Nextflow allows for the automation and management of these tasks within a single, cohesive pipeline. A major highlight of this experience was working with the viralrecon pipeline from the nf-core project. Installing Nextflow and setting up the viralrecon pipeline was an enlightening process. I learned how to create a sample sheet for input and successfully ran the pipeline, which demonstrated the efficiency and precision of automated workflows in genomic data analysis. Analyzing the outputs from viralrecon provided valuable insights into the quality of the data, essential for ensuring the reliability of downstream analyses. This hands-on experience has equipped me with practical skills and a deeper understanding of bioinformatics workflows. Additionally, I had the privilege of learning from Dr. Phelelani T. Mpangase, a professional bioinformatician who uses Nextflow daily. His insights into how Nextflow has transformed his approach to analyzing large genomics datasets were truly inspiring and reinforced the real-world applicability of the skills I've acquired. This journey has not only expanded my technical expertise but also ignited a passion for bioinformatics. I am excited to continue exploring this dynamic field and apply these skills to contribute to advancements in genomic research. #Bioinformatics #Nextflow #Viralrecon #nfcore #Genomics #Elearning #FutureLearn #ProfessionalDevelopment #RuthNanjala #GenomicDataAnalysis

Hey everyone! 🚀 I've just started dipping my toes into the world of NEXTFLOW, and let me tell you, it's quite the adventure! Nextflow is this cool tool🔧 that's all about making bioinformatics workflows a breeze, especially when dealing with complex next-generation sequencing (NGS) data.🔬 What drew me in was how Nextflow makes it possible to script complex processes as if I were just lining up dominos. It's about writing less code 💻 but doing more science, and that's a win in my book. 📚 I'm currently getting my head around how to channel data and automate processes, ensuring that my work is reproducible and as sleek as possible. Plus, the idea that I can write a workflow once and it'll run anywhere – whether on my laptop or a cloud cluster – is pretty mind-blowing. 🤯 I'm seeing how Nextflow can truly change the game in bioinformatics🧬, turning what used to be a herculean task of managing massive NGS datasets into something more manageable and way less error-prone.

** 3 Days of Pure Innovation! ** Just wrapped the most intense and exhilarating hackathon of my life at #UDelATOMHackathon 🚀 (and the #ATOMHackathon)! Over the past whirlwind 3 days, I dove headfirst into the fascinating world of machine learning and computational biology. Here's why it was EPIC: Teamed up with brilliant minds 🧠 ! We had a phenomenal crew from different institutes, all working together to tackle drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Our goal? Building predictive models based on biochemical assay data – pushing the boundaries of tech and drug discovery! **Shoutout to my amazing mentor, Amanda Paulson, PhD! 🙎♀️ ** Her lightning-fast 5-minute machine learning for computational biology tutorial was a game-changer! ⚡ It totally demystified this complex area for me. Beyond grateful for this experience! Pushed my limits, expanded my skillset in a completely new domain, and connected with incredible professionals on the same innovation journey. Bonus highlight! I also had the chance to meet the incredible Eric Stahlberg 🤝 and learn about his insights on digital twin. His insights were truly amazing and opened my eyes to the future of personalized medicine! This is just the beginning! I can't wait to apply these insights and keep growing 😀 . #MomentInScience #ATOMScience #CancerResearch #MachineLearning #DrugDiscovery
