Analysis of Trends in polyA Sites by Racial Background

Inspiration

We are interested in studying the impact of racial disparities in healthcare at a molecular level. Are individuals of certain communities more predisposed to increased likelihood of lung cancer?

What it does

Our project analyses trends in polyA sites in African American and European American lung cancer tissue.

How we built it

We used EdStem and Visual Studio Code.

Challenges we ran into

We struggled with using BioPython.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of learning how to use BioPython and Streamlit.io.

What we learned

We learned how to use BioPython and Streamlit.io.

What's next for Analysis of Trends in polyA Sites by Racial Background

Potential next steps include comparing our dataset against covid-19 datasets to explore causative genome sequences.
