Learn Biopython: Preliminary Step Toward Bioinformatics

Perfog the Daily Tasks of Bioinformatics

The basics of Python and Biopython

There are no requirements except to insist on learning

This course gives you an introduction to Python, where we covered the basics of the language, including:

Basic syntax,

Variable types,

Basic operators,

Decision making, and

Then to the stage where Python is used to explore biopython codes, and then combine them to perform routine bioinformatics tasks, and that includes:

Searching and obtaining data from NCBI databases through the internet connection,

Dealing with sequence files like reading, writing, and converting,

Dealing with sequences like manipulation and analysis,

Perfog pairwise sequence alignment (global and local),

Perfog multiple sequence alignment (MSA), and Dealing with MSA and Newick format file, and

Finally, perfog BLAST online and offline then parsing the results.

Students and researchers dealing with DNA, RNA, or protein sequences
