A. thaliana Gene Expression Visualisation Tool

For my undergraduate thesis, I developed an RNA expression visualisation web-based tool using React under the guidance of Dr Nicholas Provart in the BAR lab. This tool allowed researchers to build a custom colourised SVG of their gene expression data in Arabidopsis thaliana. This involved implementing a WDL pipeline to process genetic data from FASTQs to VCFs. As this was the first time WDLs had been used in the lab, I also created an in-house tutorial for fellow researchers on how to use WDLs. When developing the WDL, I ensured that industry-standard variant analysis tools such as samtools, htseq and bcftools were used.
