Jake Lamb contributed to the Colorado-State-University-CMB/CM515-course-2025 repository by developing and refining bioinformatics teaching materials and data resources. He built a comprehensive multi-species FASTA dataset and a Jupyter Notebook detailing bioinformatics file formats, both aimed at improving student onboarding and reproducible analysis. Using Python, Jupyter Notebooks, and command-line tools, Jake expanded and curated BED target regions for the hg38 genome, enhancing data coverage and clarity. He also improved repository hygiene by updating the .gitignore and removing deprecated materials, which streamlined collaboration and reduced clutter. His work demonstrated depth in data engineering, version control, and genomics-focused file management.

March 2025: Focused on improving data quality and maintainability for the Colorado-State-University-CMB/CM515-course-2025 repository. Delivered initial expansion and refinement of hg38 BED target regions and completed housekeeping to remove outdated bioinformatics data formats and educational materials, reducing clutter and onboarding friction. All changes were tracked via Git commits to ensure reproducibility and traceability.
