Advanced Bioinformatician Course

To become an expert Bioinformatician, one must learn how to retrieve and analyze biological data in the most efficient way, to align & analyze biological sequences, to predict the evolutionary histories between them, to find out the conserved patterns, to learn how to predict coding regions or genes from a raw nucleotide sequence and 3D structure prediction of proteins to predict the functionalities of newly discovered proteins, to predict the molecular interactions for generating virtual simulations according to their molecular interactional information of a chemical/biological ligand & the receptor which aids in the identification of lead compound in drug discovery & development.

In BioCode’s Advanced Bioinformatician Course you’ll learn from the very basics of Bioinformatics analysis skills including the most commonly utilized biological databases, their features, data retrieval & analysis, to advanced MD simulation & analysis that provides detailed information about the fluctuations and conformational changes in proteins and nucleic acids. You’ll also be able to learn from the very basics of biological programming in Python, BioPython & R to an advanced level understanding of Bioinformatics Scripting, even if you lack prior knowledge.
