Is Python Being Abandoned by the Academic Community? Scientists May Have Found a Better Alternative
Some scientists have begun using a new programming language that outperforms Python, which, like Python, can be “immediately usable” and has even greater computational power. This article is reprinted from the WeChat public account “Nature Portfolio” Original author: Jeffrey M. Perkel In 2015, bioinformatician Johannes Köster was, in his own words, “almost full-time writing Python.” … Read more
Makefile: A Guide to Automating Bioinformatics Workflows
Introduction Reference Tutorials: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html https://makefiletutorial.com/ https://www.biostarhandbook.com/books/scripting/index.html In bioinformatics upstream analysis, it is impractical to manually input our commands every time. Typically, we write our commands into a script file and execute them by running the script. However, when our work changes, we need to make adjustments, including adding or deleting commands, which increases our workload … Read more
