Bioinformatician & writer
Larysha Rothmann
I’m Larysha, a bioinformatics PhD student at Stellenbosch University in South Africa. My work involves teaching computers to understand how grapevines handle drought - specifically, which genetic variants matter enough to test in the lab rather than just existing in massive datasets. This blog is where I make sense of what I’m learning because I enjoy making technical work accessible without stripping out what makes it interesting. If you’re curious about computational biology, you might find something useful here.
Besides my work, I’m interested in too many things for my own good, but the hobbies that I’ve stuck with include sketching, yoga and making sourdough. And if you’d like to have a chin-wag my links are below:
