This biology-oriented programming course, doesn’t require prior programming knowledge , and will concentrate on the features of the language that are most useful to biologists: for example, we are much more interested in manipulating text such as DNA and Protein sequences, than the average programmer. Topics covered: - Printing and manipulating text - Reading and writing files - Lists and loops - Writing our own functions - Conditional tests - Regular expressions - Dictionaries - Classes - Modules and Packages - Handling Errors and Exception - Introduction to Biopython Bibliography: Python for Biologists, By Dr Martin Jones: http://pythonforbiologists.com/index.php/books/ Python course in Bioinformatics, By Katja Schuerer and Catherine Letondal: http://www.lii-enac.fr/~letondal/Cours/PythonBioinformatics.pdf Official Python Tutorial: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/index.html
