NEOF - Python for bioinformatics
Date: 14 - 16 January 2025
Timezone: London
Language of instruction: English
Python is one of the most popular programming languages for bioinformatics and data analysis in general. It is a very flexible language with countless applications in the manipulation and processing of data files. This course is aimed at Python beginners and will give you transferable skills to manipulate your own data and experience in Python modules tailored specifically for bioinformatics and genomics analyses.
Places are restricted to UK-based researchers and only 30 places are available so please only register if you intend on attending.
The workshop will be held over two days on Tuesday 14th and Thursday 16th January 2025, 10am-4pm, with registration opening 9.30am on Tuesday.
The deadline to register is Monday 16th December 2024. You will hear later that week whether you have been invited and will need to confirm your attendance.
