Hey there!

Welcome to my page!


Here you will find a hodgepodge of ideas, analysis, detours/roadblocks, and successes along the way..

I strive to maintain data transparency and reproducibility in my scientific endeavors - this page is platformed in GitHub, providing a more detailed view in real-time documents complimentary to linked data and analytical repositories on my GithHub: samgurr


Listed below are few expected materials in my notebook

  • Logged data, sample processing, and SOPs
    • extractions / library prep / diagnostics
    • tissue homogenate / hemolymph assessments (i.e. spec and flow cy)
    • suite of physiological metrics - respirometry, biodeposition, clearance rate, etc.
  • Data visualization
    • a picture says 1.. a well-designed figure provides 1000 takeaways messages – Taking care to build eye-catching graphics from experimental design to data interpretation often catalyzes my motivation to write. I enjoy summarizing the complexities of my research down to an aesthetically pleasing and informative product!
  • Computational work
    • Full HPC pipelines for transcriptomics and genomics projects:
    • General bash carpentry: grep, sed, etc.
      • QC processing: fastp, fastQC, multiQC
      • Mapping tools: Bowtie2, Stringtie, HISAT
      • SNP calling: ANGSD
      • and more.. (i.e. primer design, python, augustus, etc.)
    • R tips, tricks, and RShiny
    • ..a work in progress, bioinformatics takes a large chunk of my time and the many rabbit holes and roadblocks are not well documented here.. yet!
