This chapter explores the utilization of Python in medical laboratories for data analysis and report generation, detailing how OpenPyXL is used to summarize sequencing data, generate quality control reports, and automate report creation. It also discusses challenges in handling gene names in Excel, transitioning from bioinformatics pipelines to DevOps with Python in Kubernetes, the use of Argo workflows, application of a Python package for next-generation sequencing assays, and the role of AI in genetic research and medical literature analysis.
Python is special. It's used by the big tech companies but also by those you would rarely classify as developers. On this episode, we get a look inside how Python is being used at a Children's Hospital to speed and improve patient care. We have Dr. Somak Roy here to share how he's using Python in his day to day job to help kids get well a little bit faster.
