During a two-month period, Alex Egbe developed and delivered three targeted features for the opentargets/gentropy repository, focusing on data quality and interpretability in genomic analyses. He implemented a Python-based quality control check to flag and filter study loci with abnormal sums of Posterior Inclusion Probabilities, addressing floating-point inaccuracies and improving the reliability of credibility set analysis. Alex also extended the colocalisation pipeline by adding beta ratio sign computation and enhanced the classification of single-cell versus bulk datasets in the eQTL Catalogue. His work demonstrated depth in data validation, PySpark-based data engineering, and robust, traceable software development practices.
November 2024 highlights for opentargets/gentropy focused on delivering features that boost interpretability and data quality. Delivered Colocalisation beta ratio sign inclusion and enhanced eQTL Catalogue dataset classification, enabling directional interpretation of colocalisation signals and more accurate single-cell vs bulk labeling. These changes improve downstream analyses, reduce mislabeled data, and support better prioritization of causal signals. Demonstrated strengths in data integration, algorithm extension, and classification refinement, with clear commit traceability for future audits and collaboration.

Monthly summary for 2024-10: Implemented a targeted quality control feature in opentargets/gentropy to improve credibility set analysis reliability. The Quality Control Check flags study loci with abnormal sums of Posterior Inclusion Probabilities (PIPs) and filters results to enforce sums in the 0.99–1.00 range, accommodating floating-point inaccuracy. This enhances data quality, trust, and reproducibility for downstream genetic inferences. Tech highlights include Python-based data quality checks, handling floating-point tolerance, Git-based delivery, code review, and CI-aligned testing. Business value: reduces false positives due to numerical imprecision and strengthens the reliability of gene-trait mappings.
