Companion software for journal publications
The following is a selected collection of software I have developed & co-developed over the years, in the fields of statistics, statistical genetics and computational biology. Most of them are on github and are companion to peer reviewed journal papers.

Pipelines & benchmarks
Below are some pipelines and benchmarks I wrote during my postdoc training at University of Chicago.
Bioinformatics workflows
- The
jnbinderprogram to build research project sites. - Genetic fine-mapping with summary statistics.
- Multivariate adaptive shrinkage analysis see usage here.
- WGS genotype calling via
samtools.
Dynamic Statistical Comparisons
- Genetic fine-mapping methods.
- Large scale regression.
- Differential expression analysis for single cell RNA-seq data.
Please find here the list of pipelines developed from my group.
Software lists
- I am the current maintainer the Rockefeller list (after Dr. Wentian Li and Dr. Jurg Ott), a list of genetics analysis software first created in 1995.
- Here is a list of non-genetics software I find useful or fun.
- Here is a list of other utility software I wrote or have edited, mostly random & dumb graduate school time killer yet some were useful at that time.
