Many people don’t see coding and biology as going together.
The only instance anyone probably heard of is, DNA coding, which is not exactly
done in Java or MATLAB. But soon, you will find that these two components are
going to be intertwined. The reason is, coding aids both diagnosis and research
of medical diseases. Scientist and
Doctors can use codes to analyze a patient’s medical report quicker and cross reference
with previous cases to more efficiently treat patients. In the same way,
doctors are currently using coding constructs to study tumors and determine the
stage, drug resistance and prognosis of cancer in patients. This task is
usually extraneous and time consuming: going through each line of DNA and find
a mutation or similarity between other cancers. But codes and computer can doe
this thousands of times faster and more accurately.
