Name

❓🦇❓ So what does devoptera mean, anyways? (click to find out)

DevOps is a software engineering methodology that is itself an amalgam of software Devlopment and IT Operations.

Chiroptera is a the name of the phylogenetic order to which bats belong. devoptera is part of the broader echoverse suite that supports echolocatoR, and echolocatoR is an R package that facilitates fine-mapping to pinpoint causal genetic variants underlying complex traits.

You know, like bats do (kind of). 🦗〰️🦇
