Sets in Bioinformatics
Pitfalls
- Sets are unordered:
my_set[0]raisesTypeError. Convert tosorted(my_set)when you need ordering. - Set elements must be hashable: Lists and dicts cannot be set members. Use
frozensetfor a set of sets. - Empty set:
{}creates an empty dict. Useset(). inon a set is O(1): Converting a list to a set before repeated membership tests is a significant speedup for large gene lists.
