| Content | Together with new measurement technologies, the use of computational and mathematical approaches that exploit modern information technology in the study of biological systems have brought about a deep transformation in the practice of molecular biology research. To take advantage of the new opportunities, the new generation of biologists should be highly competent not only in their experimental work but also in the development and use of mathematical and computational methods. This course aims to train the students into the proficient use of programming in analyzing data derived from projects in life sciences. The course is focused on the widely used Python programming language, with a few examples from other commonly used languages such as R and Matlab. Basic knowledge of computing systems, programming languages and algorithms are required. |
