Songtao Gui, Ph.D.
Researcher in population genetics, pan-genomics and graph genome;
Trying to solve the \( V_{Geno} \sim V_{Pheno} \) problem using multi-omics evidences;
Developing tools and databases related to omics-analyses;
Contacts
Skills
Programming Languages: Bash; Perl; R; Julia; Python(Read&Edit); Rust(Trying);
Systems: Linux(Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat); Windows; HPC cluster(CentOS7-based)
Bioinformatics:
State-of-art NGS/omics-seq analyses: DNA/RNA-seq(Illumina, PB-SMRT/RSII, ONT), ChIP/HiC/WGS/ATAC etc.
Downstream analyses: Population Genetics, Phylogenetics, Genomics, Epigenetics etc.
Visualisation: R/ggplot-x, Julia/Makie, AdobeIllustrator, Photoshop etc.
DIY pipelines when necessary: Pan-genomic, SV calling, GWAS and post-GWAS etc.
Web development: more a designer than a developer, dealing with data more than code
Biological:
Evolutionary > Functional: tends to understand questions through large data supports
Theoretical > Practical: embracing cooperations for making bioinfo-data practical
