Outline: This course introduces basic aspects of programming language and its application in bioinformatics. First, fundamental programming techniques in Python are introduced. After that, this course focuses on the practical implementation of programs to analyze various biological data. The use of existing available resources from the Internet is also incorporated. Finally, the students implement bioinformatics projects (i.e., motif finding, pattern matching, sequence alignment, biomedical database analysis, etc.)
