Developed and delivered the VirusDetect Plant Virus Discovery Tool v2.0.0a0 as a new feature for the bioconda/bioconda-recipes repository, focusing on enhancing plant virus discovery workflows. The work involved Python development and bioinformatics expertise to package the tool with all required dependencies and comprehensive testing commands, ensuring quick evaluation and adoption by researchers. Updated the virusdetect recipe to include run_exports, improving downstream packaging reliability and environment compatibility. Leveraged Python and YAML to enable reproducible testing workflows and clear documentation, strengthening Bioconda’s packaging standards and accelerating access to updated plant virus discovery capabilities within the bioinformatics community.
