Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this practical course, students will learn the most common script languages used in bioinformatics. This will include basic setup of the languages and elementary functions such as data types, assignments, flow control, functions and procedures, debugging. More applied uses like sorting and searching, finding and using existing programming libraries, automating external programmes and web services and parsing results will be used. A notebook is needed (a few can be borrowed in the course)

Assessment and permitted materials

Weekly exercises that have to be handed in for grading

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

After the course, the students will know principles and techniques for construction of simple programs for solving problems in bioinformatics, using a common scripting programming language. The participants will have practical experience with implementation of text processing and parsing as well as communication with external programs from within a common scripting programming language. The method of work at the course will also train the participants to plan and complete projects.

Examination topics

The course will be in the form of lectures, followed by mandatory individual exercises.
