Description
This course will teach participants how to use scripting to deal with the huge amounts of data that modern biomedical experiments generate, such as next-generation sequencing and other high-throughput platforms. Participants will learn how to write scripts (small programs) using the Python programming language. At the end of the course you will be able to:
- load text-containing (sequences, tab-delimited, csv, xml data etc.) data files
- filter textual data
- search for patterns in sequences
- write new, filtered or processed data to files
- do conversions and calculations on data
The course is scheduled in 2011 on April 26, May 10, 17, 24, 31, June 7, 14 & 21
The course will be given in both Dutch and English.
