About the Python/R For Bioinformatics Course
High-throughput technologies like next-generation sequencing and mass spectrometry generate massive volumes of omics data. To turn this raw information into meaningful biological insights, researchers must be comfortable with scripting, data wrangling, and analysis workflows in Python and R. This course bridges that gap by focusing on practical, example-driven bioinformatics using real or realistic datasets.
Participants will learn how to import, clean, explore, and analyze genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics data using widely adopted libraries and packages. Topics include sequence data handling, basic alignment/annotation outputs, gene expression analysis, simple differential expression pipelines, and basic visualization (heatmaps, PCA, volcano plots). The emphasis is on hands-on coding, reproducible workflows, and interpreting results in a biological context.
