2. Awards
October 2020: the Utrecht University Graduate School of Life Sciences awarded Advanced Bioinformatics: data mining and integration for Life Sciences the best Master’s course of the academic year 2018-2019. The Utrecht Bioinformatics Center is very proud of the teaching team who realised this course: Joep de Ligt, Pjotr Prins and Mark Wilkinson.
3. Source code
Pjotr is heavily involved in the following projects
- Building a pangenome computer using a free software open hardware stack (RISC-V)
- Sambamba tools for genomic BAM files
- GEMMA for genetics and GWA
- GeneNetwork web service for genetics
- And more source code on our own git repo
- Most of the work is recorded on our issue tracker/knowledge base.
Note: because Github is non-neutral we moved work to our own shiny git server. Most repositories are still mirrored on github.
