Using `str.extract` to Accurately Extract Gene Names from Unique Identifiers in Pandas DataFrames
Using str.extract on Strings and Integers ===================================================== Problem Statement The question at hand revolves around extracting specific information from a string while dealing with integers. In this case, we’re working with a dataset that includes ‘Unique’ columns which contain values in the format of “chr:start-end(strand):gene_n”. Our goal is to extract the gene name from these unique identifiers. Current Issue The initial attempt at solving this problem resulted in an output where all fields were filled with NaN (Not a Number).
