This is my contribution for this week's #TidyTuesday 📊
I used the dataset provided and added the median household income per state — wondering if higher salaries would mean shorter emergency department wait times.
Turns out, I was wrong 😅

Here's my contribution to this week's hashtag#TidyTuesday.
This time I worked with the Pokémon dataset — fitting, since Pokémon has been a big part of both my childhood and adulthood.

Presenting bioinformatics pipelines visually takes time. I wish there was a flowchart tool to easily generate SVG diagrams! It takes me about an hour to make one manually.

If anyone knows of a tool to streamline this, please share!

I am sharing one in SVG in case it helps someone to save time!

Dear blskyers,
In collaboration with Kristian Ullrich, I'd like to present SNPless, a Nextflow pipeline developed for time series analysis of microbial genomics data 🧬.
