30-Hours Diploma in Bioinformatics
Credit hours
3
Learners are introduced to the computational side of biology, starting with biological databases, sequence formats and data standards. Units cover DNA and protein sequence alignment, gene expression and transcriptome analysis, and molecular biology tools. An introduction to programming in Python or R and to data visualisation makes it suitable for life science students and researchers new to the field.
