During my postdoc, even people in the same lab kept their scripts to themselves. I never understood why. π
Working with Bioinformatics data?
Youβll come across tons of file formats. Hereβs a breakdown of the most common ones & what they mean! π§΅π
.MAF (Multiple Alignment Format)
β Stores multiple sequence alignments.
π Important for evolutionary & comparative genomics!
π‘ Pro Tip: Many formats have binary & text versionsβbinary files save space & load faster but require specific tools!
