BCMB 424 - Programming for Statistical and Graphical Analysis of Biological Data

3 Credit Hours
This is a hands-on introductory programming course with the emphasis on analyzing and visualizing biological data. The course will cover basic programming concepts including core data types, functions, flow control, modules, classes and interactions with files. It will also introduce popular libraries for numerical computing, data analysis, machine learning and scientific plotting. Toy examples in areas of structural biology, cell imaging, transcriptomics, genomics and systems biology will be used. Students are encouraged to bring their own data analysis/modeling projects to the course and work on them as a part of the graded component. Upon completing the course, students will be able to use programming tools to perform data analysis, to make publication quality plots, and to learn advanced computational methods with the help of coding. Python will be used as the primary programming language of the course.

(RE) Prerequisite(s): BIOL 160 * or BIOL 168 *.
