Machine learning is transforming bioinformatics, enabling us to discover patterns in biological data. In this first part, we'll build a K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) classifier from scratch using only Python, then apply it to simulated gene expression data. This post is designed for anyone who knows basic Python and biology—no advanced ML experience required!
