PROFILE

Alejandra Escobar

Ales developed and enhanced metagenomics workflows in the EBI-Metagenomics/nf-modules repository, focusing on automated antimicrobial resistance annotation, virulence factor prediction, and toxin detection. Using Nextflow and Python, Ales unified outputs from multiple bioinformatics tools into standardized GFF formats, streamlining downstream analysis and reporting. The work included integrating PathoFact2 for protein sequence analysis, implementing machine learning–based toxin prediction, and automating data acquisition from sources like Zenodo. Emphasis on robust testing, error handling, and reproducibility ensured high integration quality. Over three months, Ales delivered modular, maintainable workflow components that reduced manual intervention and improved the reliability of pathogen detection pipelines.
