> The "bioinformatics formats" might be terrible, but they work. In fact, they are meant to be Excel-readable which keeps my collaborators (and me) happy. Coming from a CS /programming background, it is natural to feel the urge to "fix" the formats (<insert relevant XKCD>), until you realise that there are a libraries that easily handle serialization/parsing. And this is the crux of the issue, people still think excel processing is acceptable practice in 2022. If you are required to publish your analysis code (if you are not yet, it will come, the writing is on the wall), are you just publishing the excel sheets? |
