Have you already learnt how to program in Python and R, and do you have an interest in how these languages are used in bioinformatics? If so, this course offers an opportunity to develop your ability to write programs that solve bioinformatic analysis problems.
In this course we will present a number of bioinformatic analysis problems. You will then choose one of those problems and independently develop a solution that you will implement using Python and/or R. During the project work you will develop your ability to break donw an analysis problem into logical parts, describe solutions to these parts and thereby develop algorithms that you will then implement in code.
