Decode the genome. Master DNA sequencing analysis, genomic data visualization, and biological data processing using Python and Biopython.
Biology is becoming a data science. This course teaches the computational tools used to analyze the building blocks of life. You will learn to parse FASTA/FASTQ files, perform DNA sequence alignment (BLAST), and analyze protein structures. We use the Biopython library to automate the processing of genomic data, preparing you for roles in the booming biotech and personalized medicine industries where code meets cells.
