Bioinformatics today is much more about complex statistical models applied to sequencing data. There’s some pattern matching when doing low-level FASTQ processing for your fancy combinatorial barcoding. But other than that you need tools capable of processing huge datasets. Python ecosystem fits better in modern era.
- warlog 5y agoWhich .env fits better, exactly?
- MontyCarloHall 5y agoYup. I’ll occasionally still break out Perl for quickly parsing FASTQs/SAM alignments/VCFs on the command line when sed/awk/grep won’t cut it, but for everything else it’s Pandas, NumPy/SciPy, Torch, and TensorFlow.
