Hi from Banyuls-sur-Mer, France

[Sheree Yau]

Hello SeqAnswers community,

After many years of profiting (mooching) from my anonymous friends on the internet, I am finally pledging to make a contribution by active participation as best I can.

I have a bioinformatics background in:
*Genomics: assembly, alignment, phylogenetics, calculation of diversity, population genomics.
*Microbial ecology: 454-tag sequencing-based, and Illumina sequencing-based microbial ecology analyses.
*RNA sequencing: differential expression analysis
*Metagenomics: assembly, taxonomic and functional assignment of sequences.
* a bit about proteomics and metaproteomics


I have a biological background in:
*phytoplankton
*giant viruses
*Antarctic lake microbial communities
*and familiarity with genome evolution, hydrocarbon degrading bacteria, antibiotic resistance genes and microbial metabolism.

Thanks you SeqAnswers friends. I hope to be of service,

Sheree Yau

Welcome! I think the forum needs more people like you who are eager to contribute.

Giant viruses?! Any relation to Jean-Michel Claverie's group?

Thanks for the kind words Melissa! I'm working in a different group (on the smallest eukaryotes with not-so giant viruses) but we do have some collaborations with Jean-Michel Claverie's group.
