Coding

I believe that the best way to learn new technologies and concepts are by applying them in practice. This is why I occassionaly solve problems or create personal projects that are useful or meaningful to me. In this section I share and write about the old and ongoing projects.

Hidden Markov models

During my Master's thesis I used hidden Markov models (HMMs) to quantify the conservation of protein sequences observed in sequences of protein families. I used HMM sequence logos to visualize the conservation of profile HMMs. Sequence logos can be created using online tools but I wanted more control over the visual output and decided to write a script that could plot logos in Python.

You can try out the sequence logo creator I made here.
