- As soon as I saw the assignment that my assigned group was given for our contribution to the GRNsight Gene Page assignment I began work on it, as I realized that the scope of the project could be accomplished somewhat succinctly with a proper approach to developing the specific functionality. The first thing that I did was divide the function into 4 helper functions, one dictionary mapping to facilitate retrieving the data, and a final function that was left unimplemented for future filtering and transformations of the data sources. After that, John and I went through the class' documented methods for reaching the final outcome of generating the gene page for a given gene symbol for each of the 4 databases. I was in charge of realizing 3 of them, as well as the scaffolding for the rest of the function, while John handled the last API in order to gain familiarity with the paradigm and working on a project of this scale. Due to my prior understanding of the technology we would use to create this function, I was successfully able to complete each of the 3 sub-functions that I was assigned, enabling users to gain data about any gene across the 3 of the 4 databases that we were assigned to work on. We have yet to interact with the JASPAR API team, but believe that the content left for the core assignment shouldn't be too high maintenance to finish from here.
