Introduction to bioinformatics
In my GitHub personal page you can find a brief introduction to bioinformatics. There, I explain the most common bash commands that bioinformaticians usually deal with.
Take it as a friendly resource for accessing commonly used commands in early bioinformatics.

phySCO: phylogenomics from Single-Copy Orthologs
Tired of tedious phylogenetic pipelines to generate species trees after a successful BUSCO analysis? Fed up with wasting time copying and pasting commands to align, trim sequences, and infer trees?
Here's the solution! Let phySCO transform your workflow today!
phySCO is an all-in-one python tool that (i) takes the output of a series of BUSCO analysis, (ii) retrieve ubiquitous single-copy BUSCO orthologs, (iii) align and trim them, and then (iv) infer the corresponding ML phylogenetic tree using a partitioned analysis. Enjoy it!

Illustration portfolio
In my free-time I also like drawing. And sometimes I try to merge this hobby with my research work and get custom illustrations to use on papers and/or other publications.

- Animal icons. These have been used to decorate phylogenetic trees, plots and other paper figures. Up to now, I've mostly focused on organisms that I personally study (i.e., branchiopods and bivalves).
- Sex determination. These are random images I drew to put in my presentations about the (confusing) sex determination of bivalves.
- Insect developmental biology. These have been used in the chapter "Hexapods: reproductive biology and life cycles" ("Esapodi: biologia riproduttiva e cicli vitali"), edited by Barbara Mantovani, Liliana Milani and Rialdo Nicoli Aldini, from the book "Systematics and evolution of hexapods" ("Sistematica ed evoluzione degli esapodi"), edited by Alessandro Minelli e Marco A.
