Course Description
Python is an object-oriented programming language that is ideal for
biological data analysis. The course will start from zero knowledge,
and will introduce the participants to all the basic concepts of
Python such as calculating, organizing data, reading and writing
files, program logic and writing larger programs. All the examples and
practical sessions will focus on solving biological problems. In
particular the sessions will cover:
working with DNA and protein sequences
data retrieval from files and their manipulation
running applications, such as BLAST, locally and from a script
finding motifs in sequence
parsing common file formats (Uniprot, GenBank, PDB, BLAST) with Biopython
ways to find and correct program errors
The course will be highly interactive and the students will
continuously put theory into practice while learning. By the end of
the course, the participants will have a good understanding of Python
basics and will have acquired the skills to manage any type of
bioinformatics database record and to run applications from scripts.
Basic Unix/Linux skills will be provided at the beginning of the
course. Target Audience End-users of bioinformatics databases and
tools that aim at developing hands-on capabilities for biological data
analysis, ie writing their own or adapting somebody else's Python
scripts in an autonomous way. Course Pre-requisites Basic familiarity
with bioinformatics data resources such as Uniprot/Swiss-Prot, Blast,
ENSEMBL, PDB, etc. The course is directed to biologists with little or
no programming experience and aims at making them capable to use
Python to autonomously manage and analyse biological data.
Thanks for your interest,
Pedro
