I am a data science student specializing in biological data analytics. I am in the process of developing an application for genetic analysis. BUT I am having flutter fear, in the sense of not knowing where to begin. I have so many unaswered questions of which i will post. Any advice and answers are welcomed <3
- Instead of using files, we are opting to integrate encoded DNA as variables in the map() function. However, there are two alternatives that we could use.
1.1 Keys would be either a short list (4 bytes) with a corresponging byte for the genotypes.
1.2 Keys could be a long list of integers (8 bytes) which will be divided 4 to map the position and 4 to store the genotype.
Which is more preferable? And how would the function be written as?
So the moral of the app is to store string positions with their alternative genotypes.
-
With regards to the aesthetics of the application, are there any libraries of interest (for DNA, genetic, and biological symbols)?
-
Would you recommend keeping flutter for the API/UI and developing a server side using python (or any type of language) for the heavy lifitng?
More questions to come, but there are the first in mind.
I did not try anything yet as I am still in the process of building the app. But needed some clarifications before.
