Bioinformatics for Biologists

🔍 Overview

This 5-day present course is designed to equip biologists with practical bioinformatics skills needed for modern molecular research. Participants will gain confidence in using the Linux command line, navigating NCBI databases, and working with real sequencing datasets.

Key focus areas include RNA-seq data analysis, reference-based alignment, and functional annotation of differentially expressed genes. Participants will learn how to interpret bioinformatic output and integrate it with biological questions, with a strong emphasis on reproducibility and best practices in computational workflows.

No prior coding or bioinformatics background is required; this course is tailored to help experimental biologists become confident users of essential computational tools.
