66114-01 - Lecture with practical courses: Introduction to Programming in Python (2 CP)
| Semester | fall semester 2025 |
| Course frequency | Every fall sem. |
| Lecturers | Mihaela Zavolan (mihaela.zavolan@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | Like other fields, biology is also becoming a data science. Many experimental techniques generate large data sets that can only be analyzed and interpreted with computational tools. This course will introduce the students to problem solving in biology using Python as a programming language. This will include manipulating, visualizing and summarizing large data sets. Tutorial sessions on Thursdays and self studies. |
| Learning objectives | Learn how to explore biological questions with computational methods and how to implement such solutions in the Python programming language. |
