Base for everything

Janina’s

Genomics project

A bunch of different programming languages

Some cups of asking a lot of people A LOT of questions

A few drops of using other people’s code & solution to problems

TRIAL & ERROR

???

From species in the field

to looking at

genome evolution

Cool findings & first own figures

???
