The course provides a broad and mainly practical overview of fundamental skills for bioinformatics (and, in general, data analysis). The aim is to support the simultaneous development of quantitative and programming skills for biological and biomedical students with little or no background in programming or quantitative analysis.

Through the course, the student will develop the necessary practical skills to conduct basic data analysis. Most importantly, participants will learn long-term skills in programming (and data analysis) and the guidelines for improving their knowledge on it. The course will include Programming in R, programming in Python, Unix server, and reviewing basic concepts of statistics.
