Biopython Course
Master Biopython and take full control of biological data analysis through hands-on Python programming. This course takes you from Python fundamentals to advanced workflows covering sequence analysis, database retrieval, BLAST searches, and phylogenetics. You'll write real scripts that solve real bioinformatics problems from day one.

What will I learn?
In this course, you will learn to use Biopython to handle biological sequences, parse major file formats like FASTA, GenBank, and FASTQ, and access public databases, including NCBI and UniProt, programmatically. You will perform pairwise and multiple sequence alignments, run BLAST searches, and analyse restriction enzymes and codon usage. The course also covers phylogenetic tree construction, protein structure analysis with Bio.PDB, and data visualisation for bioinformatics. Advanced topics include NGS data handling, machine learning applied to sequences, and workflow automation with Snakemake and Docker. By the end, you will be able to design and deploy complete, reproducible bioinformatics pipelines.
