Mario F. Bisconti

Experienced bioinformatician writing about computational biology news, tutorials, and surviving bioinformatics one pipeline at a time.

Hi! I’m Mario, a bioinformatics scientist and developer based in Toronto, Canada. I am part of the CRCBio consulting team and I created this blog to share insights, tools, and tips from the world of bioinformatics.

Whether you’re just getting started in bioinformatics or looking for practical workflows and commentary, I aim to keep things approachable, actionable, and occasionally opinionated. Expect short, focused posts every couple of weeks covering topics like reproducible pipelines, tool comparisons, and lessons learned from real-world data.

What You’ll Find Here

This blog is designed to bridge the gap between theory and practice in bioinformatics. Topics will include:

  • Setting up a productive bioinformatics environment
  • Tips for working with various types of sequencing data
  • Creating bioinformatics pipelines and best practices
  • Lightweight tutorials and comparisons for common analysis tools
  • Real-world lessons learned from working with complex genomic datasets
  • Up-to-date news and events from the bioinformatics world

Whether you’re a student, a bench biologist getting into computation, or a seasoned analyst looking for new tricks, there’s something here for you.

Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to leave a comment if something sparks your interest.
