Neha Gupta worked as a co-op for Knome's Research group during the summer of 2011, where she scripted for genome analysis projects and identified bioinformatics resources for future development under the supervision of Nathaniel Pearson. She wrote several scripts that helped automate tasks like literature searches and file parsing/preparation and collaborated with other co-ops and bioinformaticians. Pearson praised her work over the few weeks and said the company enjoyed having her.

Supervisor’s statement for Neha Gupta
In her summer 2011 co-op, Neha worked in Knome’s Research group, scripting for live
genome analysis projects and scouting bioinformatics resources for potential use in
future development. I supervised her, and she also worked closely with another NU co-
op and with two bioinformaticians in the Operations group. On some projects, she also
worked with members of the Development group.
In just a few weeks with Knome, Neha worked on many different projects. She wrote
several key scripts for Knome, including one that helps streamline our literature search
when finishing a project analysis. She also researched, and wrote code to help
parse/prepare files for, bioinformatics resources such as PLINK. We at Knome enjoyed
having her work with us, and wish her very well!
Sincerely,
Nathaniel Pearson
Director of Research, Knome, Inc.
