PROFILE

Alejandra Escobar

Over four months, contributed to the EBI-Metagenomics/nf-modules repository by developing and enhancing modular workflows for metagenomic data analysis. Built automated pipelines for antimicrobial resistance annotation, virulence factor and toxin prediction, and biosynthetic gene cluster analysis, focusing on reproducibility and standardized outputs. Leveraged Nextflow, Python, and YAML to integrate multiple bioinformatics tools, unify diverse outputs into GFF formats, and streamline data acquisition from sources like Zenodo. Emphasized robust testing, error handling, and module organization to improve maintainability and interoperability with nf-core. The work accelerated downstream analytics, reduced manual intervention, and strengthened the reliability of complex bioinformatics workflows.
