Nikolay Vyahhi

I'm working in the Pavel Pevzner's Algorithmic Biology Lab in St. Petersburg, Russia.

My primary project is Rosalind — a platform for learning bioinformatics through problem solving, see mentions on Slashdot, Y Combinator and Reddit, as well as a new educational platform Stepic.

Also we're developing cool algorithms & software for large genomic data. Sibelia, a comparative genomics tool which is able to handle hundreds of bacterial genomes, as well as SPAdes, genome assembler for single-cell next-generation sequencing data with highly non-uniform coverage. All software were released to open-source.
