Module code: BIS7018-B
To provide the students with a solid foundation in a principle coding language extensively used for bioinformatic analysis of big data, and to allow them to develop autonomy in producing fit-for-purpose bioinformatic pipelines which will allow them to successfully address common issues surrounding biomedical big data.
R & Python syntax: particularly loops, list & dictionary comprehensions; common bioinformatic modules: particularly Biopython and Bioconductor; Big data standards and formats: handling and manipulation; Problem solving of frequently encountered bioinformatic problems: particularly sequence extraction, quantitative analysis of variants, duplicate removal, fuzzy matching, generate basic diversity indices, quantitative analysis of genomic data; Test driven development; version control using git.
