The functional predictions related to "non-coding" variants are big here. Non-coding regions, referred to as the dark genome, produce regulatory non-coding RNA's that determine the level of gene expression in a given cell type. There are more regulatory RNA's than there are genes. Something like 75% of expression by volume is ncRNA.

You're right, DNA damage is just one of the types of genetic variation in cancer. There are many other structural variations that act like remixes.

"Maybe we need to start culturing and DNA testing cancers." I assure you this is being done at a massive scale.

Due to cellular stress, cancer cells disobey multi-cellular governance. They behave more like independent organisms fighting for survival, reverting to primal programming.

Haven't tried it. S3 Tables sounds like a great idea. However, I am wary. For it to be useful, a suite of AWS services probably needs to integrate with it. These services are all managed by different teams that don't always work well together out of the box and often compete with redundant products. For example, configuring SageMaker Studio to use an EMR cluster for Spark was a multi-day hassle with a lot of custom (insecure?) configuration. How is this different from other existing table offerings? AWS is a mess.

So without the two-lang problem, I think all of these low-level optimization efforts across dataframes, tensors, and distributed computing would be part of a unified ecosystem based on shared compatibility.

For example, the reason why numfocus is so great is that everything was designed to work with numpy as its underlying data structure.

With some serious repositioning, I think there is still an opportunity for Julia to displace Python tools like polars/pandas/numpy, airflow, and pytorch -- with a unified ecosystem that makes it easy to transition to GPU and lead a differentiable programming revolution. They have the brain power to do it.

The future of Python's main open source data science ecosystem, numfocus, does not seem bright. Despite performance improvements, Python will always be a glue language. Python succeeds because the language and its tools are *EASY TO USE*. It has nothing to do with computer science sophistication or academic prowess - it humbly gets the job done and responds to feedback.

In comparison to mojo/max/modular, the julia community doesn't seem to be concerned with capturing share from python or picking off its use cases. That's the real problem. There is room for more than one winner here. However, have the people that wanted to give julia a shot already done so? I hope not because there is so much richness to their community under the hood.
