How to stand out?
Most bioinformatics CVs look the same: Python, R, RNA-seq, pipelines.
But hiring managers donβt care about skills on paper.
They care about proof. π§΅

A new tool, vcfsim, developed by Paimon Goulart, a stellar undergraduate researcher in my lab! vcfsim allows for the quick and easy simulation (via parameterized msprime simulations) of "all-sites" vcfs, with arbitrary ploidy and amounts of missing data.
