Description
Biologists, biology students, and professionals in related fields generally have little or no contact with computer programming. However, the growing of data in genomic, protein and organism databases can be used to model the solution for some problems, such as the discovery of medicines and insecticides. It leads biologists to benefit from computer programming knowledge, so that they can develop useful applications in molecular biology, ecology, research on diseases, among others.
This course was developed with the purpose of introducing biologists, students of biology, biomedicine, ecology, pharmacy and professionals in related areas to programming using Python, which is nowadays one of the most used programming languages. It has a clear syntax and is easy to learn especially if you are a professional who are not familiar with technology. Many tools used in the field of biology were written in Python, which makes it a great option for establishing your first contact with computer programming. You will learn the following topics
Python installation and main tools (IDEs)
Variables, constants and strings
Math operations
Logical, relational and conditional operators
Loops (for and while)
Functions
Lists, dictionaries, tuples, sets and arrays
Manipulation of text files
Error and exception handling
Regular expressions
Object oriented
After learning the basic concepts of Python, you will be able to apply the concepts in exercises, challenges and practical projects related to Biology. Below are some of the case studies that we will implement step by step
Prediction of the mass of a peptide sequence according to its amino acid composition
Schedule a biology test that calculates the grade and whether the user got each question right or wrong
Creating classes related to objects in the biological world
.fasta gene sequence analysis
Analysis of gene frequencies according to the Hardy-Weinberg Theorem
Creating functions for population ecology calculations
Discover patterns in RNA sequences
Estimation of gene distances
Basic species identification
Troubleshooting gene frequencies
Creating scripts for parsing .pdb-type protein sequence files
Transcription of DNA sequences into RNA
There are more than 80 classes, concepts, code demonstration, and exercises with solutions! More than 30 proposed challenges and 4 small projects applying the concepts learned in each section in a biological context, with step-by-step resolution.
Who this course is for
Biology students or similar areas, such as biomedicine, pharmacy, forestry engineering, etc.
Biology or related professionals who wish to learn a programming language
Developers or IT professionals who are interested in applying programming knowledge in the field of biology
Undergraduate students taking programming courses
People interested in programming languages
