Using Python in Bioinformatics and the Laboratory | Real Python Podcast
How is Python being used to automate processes in the laboratory? How can it speed up scientific work with DNA sequencing? This week on the show, Chemical Engineering PhD Student Parsa Ghadermazi is here to discuss Python in bioinformatics.

Parsa provides background on his research and the bioinformatic techniques used to discover gut microbes' role in human health and diseases. We talk about automating lab experiments with liquid handling robots and Python.
We dig into libraries to shatter and reassemble DNA sequences. Parsa also shares current projects from the Chan Lab at Colorado State University and his GitHub repository.
