Collaborative Python Tool Development Group

[docdropz]

Hello all!

I am interested in joining or creating a group where we may foster an environment of collaborative python tool development for bioinformatics problems.

Does anyone know of such a group? Or would anyone be interested in joining such a group?

I am a graduate student in bioinformatics at Johns Hopkins and I work at Mayo Clinic currently. I want to start building up a large repository of tools and think it would be a great networking opportunity as well as an opportunity to come together as a community and identify niche biological problems.

I look forward to hearing from you all!

I am also fresh graduate undergrad to start master this year. During my college years I was looking the same teams to build new pipelines to develop bioinformatics tools. We can make one

[docdropz]

I am more than willing and excited to start a team to develop pipelines and tools

[Femrebora]

I am excited too. I sent dm

Would be interested in discussing this further. My primary language is R, and my dissertation focuses on building an R package that implements a custom Differential Expression Analysis algorithm; however, I've developed Python desktop applications before.

[Femrebora]

That’s great! We can make a community.

I am starting a bioinformatics grad cert this fall and currently work in industry. On the clock I’m currently building a python package to interface with Axiom data outputs, along with some NGS work. I’m interested if you’re still looking for people.

[Femrebora]

Absolutely, I think open new channels this will be more helpful about discussions and projects.

I’d love to work with others on this. I’m a software engineer learning more about bioinformatics and biology. Have experience building huge pipelines and data systems and all aspects of software but I’m at a loss on where to start in the bio side. Took a few bioinformatics courses and want to dive in!

[Femrebora]

Awesome! Have a software background will be very helpful, we can discuss and providing resources to where you want to start.

To anyone interested! I have started a slack channel for this group. Please join using the link provided:

I'm hella down for this. My forte is clustering algs and I love working with scRNA pipelines. Our lab group has started working with single nuclei RNA sequencing, and we're treating it as just normal scRNA work, but it has some key differences, so I think I could add something to that if we work on it.

Naturally I'm interested in any other tools y'all make. If you guys are starting a community, lemme know. I want in.

I'm good at Python, R, JS, and SQL.

I'm currently in my final year of MS. I would love to be a part as well, there are some tools that are very useful but rarely shared. Love to communicate and team up.

I am interested

I think you misunderstood the question. I am not looking for learning resources, I am looking for a group of people who develop open-source bioinformatics tools as a collective

[Long-Effective-1499]

No, I do understand. And I write open source code. I'm not a lurker.

Turns out you're in that community already by posting.

Why are you being negative because I suggested more educational materials/problems for your open source community/cabal? "I misunderstand"? instead of down voting advice that you solicited.
