Adam Taranto

I'm a research software engineer, genome biologist, and educator who helps researchers of all levels improve their computer science and data science skills.

👩‍💻 What I'm currently working on

• tanghaibao/jcvi - Python library to facilitate genome assembly, annotation, and comparative genomics (today)
• oxli-bio/oxli - k-mers and the like (5 days ago)
• Adamtaranto/TIRmite - Annotation of cryptic transposon variants using Hidden Markov Models to detect conserved terminal features. (5 days ago)
• Adamtaranto/maxiprot - Select best alignment from overlapping miniprot alignments (1 week ago)
• Adamtaranto/tSplit - Extract terminal repeats from retrotransposons (LTRs) or DNA transposons (TIRs). Compose synthetic MITES from complete DNA transposons. (1 week ago)
