I am Christina

Welcome to my site!

Useful bioinformatics software, tools, pipelines and workflows

Some of the million tools that are out there

Every now and then, I come across papers describing new tools and software (mainly) for some kind of metagenomics, amplicon (aka metabarcoding), genome related analysis and other things that interest me. Even though I might not need them at that particular moment, I make a note in case I would like to use them in a future project.

So, without further ado, here is what I have gathered so far. Of course, some of the tools may not be maintained anymore. And, it goes without saying, this is a non-exhaustive list of software; for sure there are twice as more out there that I have missed. Also, this list doesn’t include tools that I have been part of their development (one way or the other), such as PEMA, DARN and metaGOflow.
