Description
The aim of this module is to provide skills for the analysis of DNA sequences from genomic data, from the extraction of sequences from public databases to the manipulation of these sequences in order to extract relevant information, automatically using a dedicated Python library: BioPython.
Objectives
The program is as follows:
- Biology reminder,
- Data presentation in biology format,
- Banking/databases,
- BioPython programming: Seq + SeqRecord,
- Sequence manipulation/analysis/comparison via Python scripts,
- Retrieval of seq from databases and analysis of simple sequences (character strings) using Biopython.
Students will be able to apply the skills they have acquired through a supervised project to develop a script for automating sequence analysis. This project will be initiated during the practical sessions.
