Evie Carter developed and maintained the EvolEcolGroup/tidypopgen repository, delivering robust bioinformatics workflows for population genetics and genomics data analysis. Over ten months, she engineered features for grouped quality control, haploid/VCF parsing, PCA, and kinship analysis, emphasizing reproducibility and data integrity. Using R, C++, and Python, Evie implemented comprehensive testing, documentation, and code refactoring to ensure reliability and cross-platform compatibility. Her work included expanding example coverage, improving error handling, and aligning documentation with evolving code. By addressing edge cases and enhancing usability, Evie established a maintainable, production-ready codebase that supports scalable, accurate analyses for genetics research pipelines.

February 2025 monthly summary for EvolEcolGroup/tidypopgen. Focused on expanding test coverage, hardening core workflows, and delivering PCA and data-integrity enhancements that increase reliability, accuracy, and business value for downstream analyses. Key outcomes: - Robustness and test coverage: Implemented comprehensive Fst edge-case tests for pairwise_fst and pairwise_pop_fst, including scenarios with monomorphic alleles, missing data, and per-variant by-locus checks against scikit-allel. This reduces rework and ensures correct handling of edge cases in production analyses. - PCA enhancements and visualization: Refactored variance calculations in gt_pca, added a total_var option for autoSVD and randomSVD, and improved autoplot axis labels to show explained variance, enabling clearer interpretation of PCA results for stakeholders. - Locus ordering and backing-file integrity: Improved gt_order_loci and gt_update_backingfile to correctly manage unsorted/duplicated distances, propagate rm_unsorted_dist, and support use_current_table edge cases, supported by thorough tests. - Grouped kinship/relatedness filtering: Implemented group-scoped kinship filtering in qc_report_indiv, updated related reporting paths, and extended autoplot tests to ensure stable outputs when grouping is involved. - Missing data handling improvements: Added na.rm = TRUE to WC84 and Nei calculations and cleaned up non-essential warnings, increasing robustness of results on real-world datasets. Overall impact: - Enhanced reliability and correctness of genetic distance, PCA, and kinship analyses. - Better alignment with business needs by reducing risk of incorrect results, improving interpretability of plots, and enabling scalable analyses across groups. - Strengthened testing discipline (multiple commits across tests, edge-case coverage, and regression tests), facilitating future maintenance. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - R and Python integration (scikit-allel validation in tests), SVD-based PCA implementations, and R Markdown testing. - Advanced testing strategies (edge cases, grouping, and data integrity checks). - Version control discipline with targeted commits for tests, refactors, and bug fixes.
