Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJacques Dainat is a bioinformatics research engineer with over a decade of experience bridging evolutionary genomics, structural biochemistry and practical pipeline engineering. He holds a PhD focused on detecting unitary pseudogenes and developed GLADX, a patented, productionized toolkit for evolutionary event detection and annotation that was commercialized via XEGEN. His work spans large-scale phylogenomics, positive selection analyses in plants, complex wheat hybridization studies, and genome annotation/assembly work at NBIS, coupled with teaching and supervision across Europe. At Alcediag he translated research into reproducible workflows and diagnostic-grade RNA editing analyses, and he continues to contribute to the bioinformatics ecosystem as a Bioconda package maintainer. Known for combining deep evolutionary insight with hands-on tool and pipeline development, he excels at turning complex genomic questions into well-documented, reusable software.
