A team of researchers in the US (University of West Virginia, South Dakota University, Arizona State University) have found limitations for its use by scientists who work with biological data utilizing computational methods to prioritize targeted treatment for cancer and genetic disorders. According to them bioinformatics tasks often require execution of third-party packages, access to annotation knowledgebase, and handling large datasets. Code Interpreter’s exclusive support for Python, no installation option for additional packages, inability to utilize external resources, and limited storage capacity could pose obstacles to its wide adoption in bioinformatics applications. To address these limitations, they advocate for the necessity of locally deployable, API-based systems for chatbot-aided bioinformatics applications… read more. TECHNICAL ARTICLE
