Learn from a real case
Not textbook examples: open up real patient data Sid published (~25TB): expression matrices and single-cell RNA-seq.
HomeGenomics
Your genome is yours. Start by getting comfortable reading and understanding it.
What this is for
Section titled “What this is for”HomeGenomics is a practical handbook that helps developers analyze their own and their family’s genomic and biometric data themselves. Instead of handing your raw test data to someone else’s black box, you learn to open it, understand it, and put it to use.
It starts from one real case. GitLab’s founder, Sid Sijbrandij, took his own rare cancer apart as data, the way a developer debugs a bug, designed his own treatments, and made the whole process public. We follow that case step by step to learn the pattern: data → target → treatment.
With a developer's tools
Use Python, the CLI, and public databases to query expression and variants, interpret what they mean, and build reproducible pipelines.
For your family
Relatives share DNA. Secure data while you’re healthy, and one person’s analysis can become a clue to look after parents, children, and siblings earlier.
