Description
Summary:Just a few days later, ChatGPT had already rolled out a major new feature—the ability to share conversations with colleagues. [...]one of the most valuable tips we can offer is to be prepared for novelty and remain open to testing new AI advances. [...]these pieces of code work fine in practice—we just generally wish they were more readable. [...]a good starting point to begin harnessing the power of ChatGPT is to make your favorite scripts more readable. Use ChatGPT to enhance data cleanup In addition to writing scripts, computational biology research involves cleaning and reconciling data, ensuring it is consistent and free of errors before running the analysis. Besides aiding in writing clean-up scripts, ChatGPT can also partner with Excel to offer guidance and assist in writing macros [17].
