Presentation

I'm currently part of the research and development team at the SeqOIA diagnostic genetic analysis laboratory. Where I'm working on the problem of interrogating large databases of variants from numerous individuals associated with clinical information. I did a post-doc in Germany in Tobias Marshall's team, where I worked on the detection and phasing of variants using long-reads, as well as on the construction of pangenome. I did my thesis in the BONSAI team, I was supervised by Rayan Chikhi and Jean Stéphane Varré.

My current work focuses on the construction and interrogation of a database of variants containing a large number of individuals associated with clinical signs. I have previously worked on long reads correction and their use for variants detection, de novo genomes assembly, construction and analysis of pangenomes but I'm still depply interested in these matters.

Software

  • KNOT: for Knowledge Network Overlap exTraction a pipeline to investigate fragmented long-read assembly
  • yacrd: for Yet Another Chimeric Read Detector: using all-against-all read mapping for chimeric read detection and read scrubbing
  • fpa: for Filter Pairwise Alignment: filter all-against-all read mapping, by type, length, name… fpa can convert alignment in overlap graph (GFA1), index and rename reads
  • ragroc: for Random dnA Generator and Reverse COmplement: a webpage write in webassembly to generate random dna and run reverse complement
  • niffler: is a rust crate to provide simple and transparent support for compressed files
