Bioinformatics tools installation and usage etc

Hi!

I am Samee Ullah a Bioinformatician at National Institute of Health(NIH) Islamabad Pakistan.

I am interested to contribute articles about the installation and usage of bioinformatics tools in the Fedora Magazine. Also I checked the Fedora Scientific flavors which comes with just 2 or 3 tools preinstalled and other open source tools in genomics, structural biology etc are missing. Therefore I think this would be very helpful to the computational researchers and PhDs or Postdocs to work in their laboratories easily.

Please let me know If its a good idea.

Thank you

Hi Samee.

This is a great idea. +1. Just be sure to stick with FOSS tools.

Thanks!

Hello Samee,

If you’d like to help include these, please get in touch with the package maintainers community. We do have special working groups that focus on particular scientific domains. For example, the Neuro-sig works on Neuroscience related packages. If we don’t have folks working on genomics etc., it’s merely because we don’t have enough community members that work in/are interested in these areas.
