How to test for substrings in the list
I need to check if a string is in the list my_list.
my_list = ['word1,word2,word3', 'g1,g2', 'word1']
When I run 'word2' in my_list, it returns False instead of True.
How can I test for substrings in the list?

You have to check whether your string is part of each list element.
Something like this:
for elem in my_list:
if 'word_2' in elem: return True
