CSHL Programming for Biology Course

摘要 生物学编程 2020-2024 冷泉港生物编程实验室课程的目标是 为生物学家提供他们需要的高级知识和编程工具 应对基因组信息爆炸。对网络工具培训的补充 例如BLAST，本课程教研究人员如何管理、分析和显示 通过创建将现有工具和自定义工具相结合的专用程序来实现大数据集 和站台。这门为期16天的课程首先是对Python的强化训练 编程，包括面向对象的编程和BioPython库。这个 第二周介绍了基本的生物信息学分析工具和方法， 伴随着适当的编程练习。我们强调的是设计和 实施复杂的分析管道，直接解决生物学家的研究 问题使用实用的软件工程和科学的计算方法。这个 课程将正式讲座与广泛的动手实验室相结合，在这些实验室中，学生 解决从生物学中常见情景中提取的一系列计算问题集 研究和数据管理。在为期三天的期末专题中，巩固了这门课程的 在教学中，学生使用自己的数据提出现实生活中的问题，并与 教员来解决这些问题。

ABSTRACT PROGRAMMING FOR BIOLOGY 2020 – 2024 The goal of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Course in Programming for Biology is to provide biologists with the advanced knowledge and programming tools they need to deal with the genomic information explosion. Complementary to training in web tools such as BLAST, this course teaches researchers how to manage, analyze and display large data sets by creating dedicated programs that combine existing and custom tools and platforms. This 16 day course begins with an intensive training in Python programming, including object-oriented programming and the BioPython library. The second week introduces essential bioinformatics analysis tools and methods, each accompanied by appropriate programming exercises. We emphasize the design and implementation of complex analysis pipelines that directly address a biologist's research questions using practical software engineering and scientific computing methods. The course combines formal lectures with extensive hands-on laboratories in which students solve a series of computational problem sets drawn from common scenarios in biology research and data management. In a three-day final project that solidifies the course's teachings, students pose real-life problems using their own data and work in groups with faculty to solve them.
