Learn Biopython: Preliminary Step Toward Bioinformatics
- 4.1
Brief Introduction
Performing the Daily Tasks of BioinformaticsDescription
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
Loops.
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,
Performing pairwise sequence alignment (global and local),
Performing multiple sequence alignment (MSA), and Dealing with MSA and Newick format file, and
Finally, performing BLAST online and offline then parsing the results.
