Cover Letter:

During my tenure as a Junior Bioinformatics Programmer at Genome Life Sciences Pvt Ltd, I played a pivotal role in developing the GenePanel DataBank for different cancer types. Additionally, I contributed to the development of the Splice Atlas Product and created a web-based tool for Splicing score prediction based on the Shapiro-senapathy algorithm. This tool proved invaluable to researchers within the company, enabling them to make informed decisions about splicing in their research projects.

Currently, as a Bioinformatics Analyst at Latlon Technologies, I am responsible for developing executable applets and workflows (pipelines) within the UK Biobank – DNANexus for GWAS analysis. This entails extracting phenotype and patient data, working diverse genomic variant data types, such as WGS, WES, genotype array data, and imputed array data. Utilizing shell scripts and Python programming to extract, preprocess, and analyze the genetic data. Conducting GWAS analysis to identify genetic variants associated with various phenotypes of interest. Enhancing the GWAS results through fine mapping and Mendelian Randomization techniques. Implementing polygenic risk score prediction models to assess the genetic risk of complex diseases. Created machine learning models to predict type2diabetes in patients from UK Biobank dataset. I also annotate variants using tools like SnpEff, ANNOVAR, and VEP as necessary, integrating these steps into comprehensive pipelines.
