Hi all. I am Alex. I am a PhD student at Université Laval in Canada. I am a microbiologist interested in microbial ecology. My research thematics are about microorganisms living in Arctic Lakes. More specifically, the lakes where I harvest my samples are located in Resolute Bay, Nunavut in Canada. I am using R packages dada2 and phyloseq for my bioinformatics analyses to characterize the microbial taxa in my samples. I am an advanced beginner in bioinformatics so I came to join nf-core Slack to know better and to improve myself 🙂
