About Edmund Miller

Edmund Miller is a Bioinformatics Engineer at Seqera and a member of the nf-core core team. He earned a Ph.D. in Molecular and Cell Biology (functional genomics) at the University of Texas at Dallas, where his research focused on nascent transcript identification and regulatory regions of the genome at scale. Since joining nf-core in 2020, he’s worked across testing, subworkflows, and pipelines. After becoming a maintainer in 2022, his focus has been nascent, methylseq, and demultiplex.

FAQ

What’s your PhD in again?

Technically, the degree program was “Molecular and Cell Biology” with a main focus on functional genomics, using bioinformatics and computational biology.

The dissertation work centered on enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) and a reproducible pipeline to identify nascent RNA transcription (nf-core/nascent), built with Nextflow and nf-core because small processing changes can swing results by ~25%.

Short Answer

Bioinformatics, Biology, I don’t know, I write code.
