The other day I was perusing Udemy’s listing of free courses and found thBioinformatics course on offer. Since it was less than two hours and free, the only thing I had to lose was two hours of my time. I therefore embarked upon an afternoon of learning bioinformatics, as it relates to machine learning.
The course was broken down into two sections, the first one being a theoretical discussion the different libraries that can be used with the Python programming language, and the section being three mini projects:-
Section 1
Section 1 is an introduction. It discusses what bioinformatics is and also general python and sklearn topics that are specific to this genre. The library that is specific to this course is biopython.
Section 2
Section 2 of the course is composed of three projects the student is expected to complete.
Project 1 and project 2 are composed of a basic Python sequence. The course author obviously knows a lot about bioinformatics, which is why he was able to write the code in straight Python.
Project 2 is a sequence analysis involving Biopython. Biopython is supposed to be easier to use than the other libraries in Python, but I have been unable to find the functions that go with this library.
