- Numerous python libaries are available that provide python programmers access to specialized algorithms, data structures, and data file types. Also for bioinformatics several libraries are available, e.g. biopython, ete, pysam.
- Contents
- The biopython library and how it can be used to perform bioinformatics analyzes will be introduced, e.g.
- working with sequences and NGS sequencing data,
- accessing online data bases (Entrez),
- comparing sequences (pairwise, multiple, and BLAST)
- phylogenetic trees
Furthermore a short introduction to other bioinformatics python library will be given (e.g. ete and pysam).
Participants may suggest other topics of interest (>2 weeks) ahead of the course.
