Trinity Tobin developed and enhanced data science workflows for the ksgeist/Merrimack_DSE6630 repository over three months, focusing on reproducibility and clarity in public health and bioinformatics projects. Using R and R Markdown, Trinity implemented robust data preprocessing, encoding, and visualization pipelines, integrated Census API data, and delivered spatial and RNA-seq analysis documentation. The work included ridge regression modeling, spatial statistics, and variance stabilizing transformation explanations, all supported by thorough documentation and version control practices. Trinity’s contributions improved onboarding, reduced support needs, and enabled faster, more reliable analysis iterations, demonstrating depth in statistical modeling, data integration, and technical communication.
July 2025: Key feature delivered: RNA-seq Documentation Enhancements in R Markdown for ksgeist/Merrimack_DSE6630, including detailed explanations of the variance stabilizing transformation (VST) wrapper, its significance in RNA-seq analysis, and updated Q&A sections covering RNA sequencing methods, quality thresholds, CPM normalization, gene ID representation, and batch variable identification. Major bugs fixed: none reported this month. Overall impact and accomplishments: improved documentation quality, onboarding, and reproducibility for RNA-seq workflows, enabling analysts to apply VST concepts with confidence and reducing support time. Technologies/skills demonstrated: R Markdown, comprehensive domain knowledge of RNA-seq (VST, CPM normalization, batch effects), documentation and version control, commit-driven collaboration.
