Stand-up Notes

25-8-2025

Felix

  • Completed first draft of the abstract
  • HS genotyping; polishing founders vcf file:
  • - sorting xsome order
  • - remove duplicate markers

Johannnes

  • Extending the rag system, make it more of an agent:
  • - fixing bugs
  • - reduce runtime

Bonface

  • CD went down!
  • revert it to last commit
  • set it up locally (not very easy)
  • coordinate with Fred and Aarun for help

27-8-2025

Felix

  • updating the abstract: meeting with Kauthar, for more tips and insight
  • HS rats genotyping
  • still no significant output

Bonface

  • fixed GN3, GN guile, and GN auth
  • reproduce GN2 error, not yet fixed though

Johannes

  • LLM transformer is taking too long to run
  • change input documentations to observe results

29-8-2025

Felix

  • Still on the abstract
  • Errors with hs genotyping script

Johannes

  • Still on the rag system: experimenting with documents as input

Bonface

  • CD down again, tux02 is the calprit
  • Running gn2 outside container in meantime

1-9-2025

Felix

  • improving the smoothing scripts for hs: building a snakemake pipeline; redrafting the abstract introductory part

Bonface

  • looked on deployment to fix...,
  • install gpu drivers for penguine 2 with alex
  • it has gpu drivers tesla k8, but hardware installation is important for the meantime

Alex

  • rqlt2/lmdb runs and rebooted
  • dumping bxd phenotype dataset for testing

Johannes

  • no big updates
  • literature review on rag systems and how they work

3-9-2025

Felix

  • Improved the inferring script
  • Abstract on hold first

Johannes

  • fix documents using agents: the issue is parallelization
  • reviewing fahamu AI (the python part)

Bonface

  • Gn2 finally runs
  • Documenting the progress and steps
  • Gn-auth is broken; Fred to solve it
  • Updated tesla k8 gpu drivers

Alex

  • Rqtl-wrapper for BXD is done
  • focusing on cross-information;lmdb

5-9-2025

Felix

  • managed to generate haplotype blocks for hs rats

Johannes

  • RAG experimentation script: balg01, running slow; prepare for msc defense

Alex

  • dumping phenotypes to lmdb

Bonface

  • install drivers on tesla k8
  • review Johannes scripts
  • fixing gn2
  • review alex's patches, {pull requests via emails}
  • AOB;
  • API tokens for RAG and coding

10-9-2025

Felix

  • Managed to run gemma and generate plots for the original hs genotype data and hs smoothed genotype data
  • Still working on fine-tuning the statistical metrices to suite the plots

Bonface

  • All the GN machines are up and running, expect GN Auth
  • Sent documentations to Pjotr on the progress with troubleshooting GN machines

Alex

  • writing queries to move phenotypes matrices from gn2 db to lmdb

Johannes

  • defense

17-9-2025

Felix

  • Completed abstract writing
  • Working on generating genotype files for hs in gn2 format

Bonface

  • Gn machines are up and running
  • Still some issues with manually restarting the container
  • Worked with Alex to set up an external bootable ssd for Johannes

Alex

  • Succeeded dumping phenotypes to lmdb
  • Been reading literature around phenotypes in gn2
  • Assisted Bonz in setting up external bootable ssd for Johannes

Johannes

  • Managed to get access to bux01 server for the llms work

19-09-2025

Felix

  • Finalized HS genotypes/haplotypes

Bonface

  • GN machines are running on CD
  • troubleshooting assisted by Aaron

Johannes

  • Experimenting with RAG systems

Alex

  • Writing LMDB scripts to dump phenotypes to LMDB from the common gn DB

[Review] MONTH OCTOBER, 2025

*** Metric wise, plans and goals to achieve

Bonface

Thoughts: Good start after relocation.

  • CD/CI: Make sure that tests/infra is super stable
  • Look at suggested forge/guix-bioinformatics upgrades that affect prod
  • Support work for GNQA: sane gn-qna(fahamu)/AI deploys; Review Johannes' work; Help with tuning models; play catch up (cover up knowledge gap); figure out how to compare the different models.
  • Follow up on my phd

Alex

Thoughts: very productive

  • Rqtl2 lmdb adapter running on production; depends on traction with Rqtl2 upstream by karl Browman to gn-bioinformatics
  • Collaborate with Felix on his scripts

Johannes

Thoughts: Not very productive, barely, looking forward for more improvement

  • Experimenting on the qtl data with the AI system being currently built; also in need of optimization
  • Comparing LLMs/GNQA agents; getting assistance from Shelby's work

Felix

  • HS genotypes to be fully supported in GN2
  • Poster presentation
  • PhD: ML objective (ML fundamentals); Complete 1st manuscript draft; Process my student pass
(made with skribilo)
