Jay Moore

I'm a bioinformatician from Warwick Systems Biology Centre. Before my MSc in Plant Genetic Resources, and PhD in Plant and Environmental Sciences (Brassica comparative genomics), I worked as an industrial software engineer in the local government, utility and management consultancy sectors. In my first postdoc I developed a software application, TreeMos, for identifying and visualising phylogenetic mosaicism, and worked on the evolution of flower architecture in Barley.

My primary software engineering expertise is in database and datawarehouse design and development (Oracle, MySQL, MS Access + many others), web development (Perl, HTML, XML, ASP) and high-throughput data pipelines (Perl, PL/SQL, shell script, VB, some R, etc). OK I use Excel as well for a whole lot of different things where the number of data points is smallish.

My previous bioinformatics publications and experience are in the areas of comparative genomics, biodiversity informatics and phylogenetics.

My current role involves setting up data pipelines and repositories for developing models from high-throughput multi-omics experimental data. I'm also very interested in contributing to the development of controlled vocabularies.

I am open to collaborative and consultative work and speak some biology as well as computer languages :)
