Hi,
When I am asked to mention for which I have recently used a programming language like Python in data analysis, I just can say that I used Python once to extract some genome coordinates from gene bank. But definitely this is not a wise answer and disappointing for a bioinformatician. How then a medium data analyst could use Python? I mean for which purpose as a good answer.
Thank you very much
If someone is asking you in what context you've used something it's best not to answer that you've used it in some context in which you haven't (i.e., don't lie). If you start mentioning things you've never done then if they ask any follow up questions you'll be immediately screwed.
Is the focus of the question to figure out if you know python (and how to code) because otherwise that question does not make a lot of sense. If you are an end-user/consumer of code (python or else) that others make so generously available, then I don't see any problem in making that clear when you answer the question.
Thank you, exactly as what you stated I am an end-user/consumer of code and as WouterDeCoster mentioned I use Python and R for differential expression, plotting and data processing. you are always helpful
