Services

NGS • Population Genetics • Reproducible Pipelines

I provide professional bioinformatics services focused on NGS data processing, population genetics analyses, and reproducible workflows.

My work is oriented toward clarity, statistical rigor, and publication-ready outputs, supporting researchers and teams at different stages of their projects.


Core Services

1. NGS Data Processing & Alignment

End-to-end processing of raw sequencing data, from FASTQ files to analysis-ready outputs.

Typical tasks include:

  • Read quality control and trimming

  • Reference-based read alignment

  • Generation of sorted and indexed BAM files

  • Basic alignment statistics and QC reports

2. Population Genetics Analyses (VCF-based)

Statistical analysis of genetic variation using variant data in VCF format.

This service focuses on quantitative population genetics, including:

  • Principal Component Analysis (PCA)

  • Genetic diversity and heterozygosity

  • Inbreeding coefficients (F_IS)

  • Pairwise population differentiation (F_ST)

  • Nucleotide diversity (π)

Optional extensions include sliding-window analyses and ancestry inference.

3. Custom Pipelines & Reproducible Workflows

Design and execution of custom bioinformatics pipelines tailored to specific datasets or research questions.

Includes:

  • Workflow design (bash-based or workflow managers)

  • Optimization and reproducibility

  • Clean, documented outputs suitable for reuse

This service is appropriate for projects that do not fit a predefined template.


4. Technical Consulting & Analytical Support

High-level support for projects that require methodological clarity rather than raw computation.

Typical use cases:

  • Interpreting QC metrics and analytical results

  • Choosing appropriate population genetic statistics

  • Reviewing figures, methods, and analytical decisions

  • Supporting theses, manuscripts, or reports under time constraints


Who this is for

  • Research labs without dedicated bioinformatics staff

  • MSc and PhD students needing structured analytical support

  • Teams preparing manuscripts or responding to reviewers

  • Biotech or agrogenomics groups working with NGS data

  • Anyone needing clear, reliable, and defensible analyses


How it works

  1. You describe your data or project

  2. We define the analytical scope and deliverables

  3. I run the analysis and deliver structured results

  4. Optional follow-up for clarification or integration into manuscripts
