#introduction Hi there! My name is Clément, I am an evolutionary biologist interested in #transposons (Jumping Genes ) !
#transposons are really cool! They turn Cabernet into Chardonnay, protect us from viruses
and also give their nice smell to roses
!
I really like to pretend I'm doing bioinformatics by playing Lego with software and making pipelines and methods for #transposon analysis and annotation. Here are some of them:
- #dnaPipeTE : find and quantity transposons in short-reads data https://github.com/clemgoub/dnaPipeTE
- #GraffiTE : detect and genotype polymorphic #Transposon insertions using #pangenome approaches https://github.com/cgroza/GraffiTE
- #TE+Aid : a little tool to help manual curation of #Transposons libraries https://github.com/clemgoub/TE-Aid
I am also a contributor to the #TEhub a community centered ressource to learn and share how to analyze #Transposons -- find out more here https://tehub.org -- YouTube: https://youtube.com/@tehub
Always excited to talk about anything, please reach out if you are interested in #Transposons!
When I don't do science, I am passionate about music (I'm into DIY synthetizers these days), vinyl records, photography, skiing, video games and ah yes I am quite passionate about politics too!
Cheers!
@obi I wish they do!!!
@clementgoubert can these transposons turn water into wine too? If so this could this could change a lot of peoples minds about some historical figures
