Code in Long Non-coding RNA - CH Ting
"I discovered that the wall-to-wall pearls and necklaces I reported last month were due to the corruption of a data file. I had done very extensive sanity checks on 5 large lncRNA databases, and the results look credible. I will summarize the pearls and necklaces found in these databases. All calculations were done in Python 3.7.4, using its very powerful string functions. I could have done all string operations in Forth, but the Python code is much simpler and much shorter."
