I have decided to study for the Bioinformatics engineer, and have made some progress.
Seems some people are using R language, and BioConductor is a good library.
Also, for pipeline and reproducible results, docker/singularity and nextflow is also used.
Here is an example for a large organization. They are also using special compute nodes (Dragen).
Some people are also bring nextflow and R to classrooms.
I decided to learn some R. There are some quirks for installing packages on Windows. Compiling from source doesn’t work; you need to always install the binary packages.
Also, Jupyter notebook (using R kernel) is way better than RStudio.
Some Notes
I learned about Insulin, it’s so basic, and I didn’t know it for 10 years!
But some talks about C++/WASM was boring. they are already old technology.
The Next Step
I plan to continue reading the book: Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics.
Maybe I will go back to using Python tools.
