Inspiration

A lot of researchers need to study the genome of the coronavirus. Now the genome has billions of As, Ts, Gs, and Cs. It's a tedious task and consumes a lot of time. So we thought to solve this problem by detecting the pattern of Cs and Gs.

What it does

This detects the patterns of Cs and Gs in the genomes of the coronaviruses. The researcher can upload hundreds of thousands of excel sheets at once and can get the location of CpG islands in a matter of seconds. This process when done manually can take years. Automating it makes the task efficient.

How we built it

We made a website where the researcher can upload files. A python code processes it.

Challenges we ran into

Connecting Python with Frontend

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The Python code which can automate this task

What we learned

We learned about Genomes, CpG Islands, Python automation, etc

What's next

We can expand this program such that it detects more than just CpG Islands
