> Like most bioinformatics programs, AlphaFold 2 comes equipped with a “preprocessing pipeline”, which is the discipline’s lingo for “a Bash script that calls some other codes”.
Having Bioinformatics people requiring to stray a long way from their core competency to learn a scripting language from the 80's to write glue code seems... suboptimal. How many hours of expert time has been wasted figuring out how to split a string in bash?
Can us software people build a better tool to eliminate the need for this?
