The Genome Analysis Centre (TGAC) is organising an intense hands-on training event based on programming in Python for life scientists. Taking place over 20-24 April 2014, the course will start with basic skills in Unix/Linux, the then will explore language concepts and instructions. It will cover the main aspects of OPP, including variables, types, modules, functions, exceptions, control of flux, input, output, and classes.
All the course’s examples and practical sessions will focus on solving the following biological problems:
- 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 sequences Parsing Swiss-Prot files, PDB files, ENSEMBL records, blast output files, etc
- Biopython will be also be introduced and applied to some of the above examples.
