In genetic sequencing experiments, instead of reading all 3 billion base pairs of the DNA molecule, researchers focus on specific regions of the genome that are relevant for targeted patient care. This targeted sequencing approach involves identifying and analyzing about 2,000 genes known to be associated with cancer, enabling a more focused and practical application of genomic data in day-to-day patient care.
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.
