Dr Alannah King
Bioinformatician
Bioinformatician working on the GPS project, helping to develop an internal pipeline to process data coming into the GPS project.
Previously, I did my PhD in the lab of Edmund Kunji at the MRC MBU, developing novel software to analyse transport proteins using a generalised framework of pseudosymmetry. I also provided bioinformatic support to other lab members and external collaborators.
Projects
- Development of new modules for an internal GPS pipeline to analyse samples as they arrive.
- Goal of greater efficiency and speed when constructing lineages
- Creating a Nextflow module for annotation.
- A GPSC card game based around the populat “Top Trumps”, to be used as an outreach and engagement activity.
- Images and support from global GPS collaborators.
- Scores taken from real data!
- Comparison of methods for pneumococcal genome clustering
- MLST vs cgMLST vs GPSC
- Analysis of pneumococcal serotype 12F.
- Population structure
- AMR profiling
- Spatio-temporal analysis
