Senior🎓
Top SchoolJon Eilers is a bioinformatician with 10 years of experience applying genomics, assembly, and annotation workflows to applied problems in agriculture and aquaculture. He currently studies pear tree architecture at the Waite Lab while running freelance projects through Analytical Genomics, focusing notably on echinoderm genomics and chromosome-scale assemblies. His background spans differential gene expression, phylogenetics, protein functional analysis, and lcWGS population scans, with hands-on lab experience from PCR to tissue culture and protocol development. He has supported grant-writing and project management for research organizations like the Pacific Shellfish Institute and USDA ARS, and maintains access to the computational resources needed for large-scale analyses. Based in Las Vegas, Jon blends field and lab experience—from fisheries and crab boats to genome centers—bringing practical ecological insight to computational genomics. An understated strength is his ability to translate complex genomic data into testable hypotheses and breeding-ready genetic tools.
