Analyze the building blocks of life. Master DNA sequencing analysis, genomic data visualization, and the Biopython library.
Bioinformatics sits at the intersection of biology and computer science. This course introduces the computational tools used to analyze biological data. You will learn to process DNA and RNA sequences, perform pairwise and multiple sequence alignments, and parse standard file formats like FASTA and GenBank using Biopython. We cover the basics of variant calling and visualizing genomic data. Ideal for developers wanting to enter the biotech industry or biologists looking to add coding to their skillset.
