Welcome to the Python Fundamentals for Bioinformatics Workshop!
This workshop will introduce you to the basics of Python programming and how to apply it to manipulate biological data and bioinformatics tasks.
You'll learn coding skills to work with biological data and solve bioinformatics challenges using Python
1.Syntax
2.Variables
3.Data types
4.Operators
5.Strings
6.String manipulation
7.Conditionals
8.Loops
9.Collections
(List, Tuple, Set, Dictionary)
10.Exception handlers
11.Object-oriented programming
12.Files handling
13.Ploting scientific graphs
All concepts will be delivered and learned through hands-on exercises, particularly for bioinformatics problems such as handling genetic sequences and parsing biological data files. Also, the advanced topic of compound screening for drug discovery will be demonstrated.
