Variable declaration, lists and hashes, repetitive structures, logical control structures and the creation of functions and subroutines. Applications are biologically oriented, focusing mainly on the analysis of primary sequences. The second component of the course includes an introductory section to MATLAB focusing on the use of the main statistical packages and the development of high-quality graphics.

The course will include:
