About this Course
Are you curious about studying how you can program (in Python) inside a scientific setting?
This course will cowl algorithms for fixing numerous organic issues together with a handful of programming challenges serving to you implement these algorithms in Python. It presents a gently-paced introduction to our Bioinformatics Specialization (https://www.coursera.org/specializations/bioinformatics), getting ready learners to take the primary course within the Specialization, “Discovering Hidden Messages in DNA” (https://www.coursera.org/be taught/dna-analysis). Every of the 4 weeks within the course will include two required elements. First, an interactive textbook supplies Python programming challenges that come up from actual organic issues. Should you haven’t programmed in Python earlier than, to not fear! We offer “Simply-in-Time” workouts from the Codecademy Python monitor (https://www.codecademy.com/be taught/python). And every web page in our interactive textbook has its personal dialogue discussion board, the place you’ll be able to work together with different learners. Second, every week will culminate in a abstract quiz. Lecture movies are additionally supplied that accompany the fabric, however these movies are optionally available.
