GitHub Sponsors Profile

Hello,
I am Anand, and I mostly develop academic open-source software tools for Genomics and Epi-genomics.
Some of the popular tools I developed are:

maftools: A multi-functional, user-friendly software package for somatic variant analysis in cancer-related studies. It is also widely cited (>2000 times) and ranks among the top 100 most downloaded packages from Biocoductor repository.
trackplot: A visualization tool to generate publication ready IGV style tracks from within R
basegraphics: Data visualization using only base R graphics with complete code and the datasets. I also tweet at baseRgraphics
methrix: A package for DNA methylation analysis from whole-genome bisulfite sequencing studies
TCGAmutations: An R data package containing ready-to-use, pre-compiled somatic mutations along with the clinical annotations from TCGA cohorts (from Broad Firehose and TCGA MC3 Project)
somaticfreq: knowledge-based genotyping of cancer hotspots from the tumor BAM files
