Python in Bioinformatics
Trent Hauck
Python is used all over the place in Bioinformatics. In this talk, I'll highlight three areas of interest:
- Informatic Jobs how does raw sequencing data turn into variant calls? There's often some Python shepherding the the underlying tools (often CLI tools)
- ML Models large language models are getting very good generally, e.g. Codex. Similar models are making nacent progress in Biology, e.g. ESM by meta
- Munging the lovely tasks that're relevant to every field, but how to do it is normally tacit within the field. The same is true for Bioinformatics.
