Scripting and Database Querying for Molecular Biologists

3 credits · Graduate Programs

Intended for biologists who wish to improve their bioinformatics analysis capabilities by learning just a small amount of query and programming syntax. The focus is on practicality rather than programming theory. The course explores how to use existing tools (on the command-line and on the Web) to gather and process large datasets all at once, rather than doing many individual analyses manually. Notes: No prior programming experience is required.
