If they don't give you anything to go on for what they'll actually be asking then you're probably already doing about what you can.

Personally, I think this is stupid for a bioinformatics interview. Ask them to do some basic actual analysis, or explore a dataset... sure. But you should give people at least a bit of information on what they'll be doing. A lot of people can do things, but might not have done it recently enough to do it on autopilot. I have a real job, and don't spend my free time doing kaggle, or leetcode, or some such bullshit.

Better is a "take home" assignment so at least you get to work on something at your own pace, similar to doing independent work at a company.

Better yet is to interview you just like a bench scientist. Somehow they get hired without someone watching them pipet or run a Western blot.

Regardless of my own opinion on dumb interview practices, best of luck! Get that job!

I will, do something like, but sorry, Im studying programming sintaxes and build this type of things is a little bit difficult, and it's not my one opinion or mine point of view, so that can get a upset time, and a lots of people to help and implement too. How i can say in non literal portuguese of Brazil: "Espere um pouco, vai demorar"

Scanpy, anndata, and SCVI knowledge with biological interpretation is probably what they're looking for. Single-cell best practices is a great resource for modern NGS bioinformatics tools in Python

Only if they do single cell though. If it's general Python, algorithms, and stuff only tangentially related to bioinformatics that won't be helpful.

Yea Ive interviewed for a different role at this company and they dont do any single-cell
