Description
To work efficiently and reliably with the large amount and complexity of data that typically need to be analyzed in (structural) bioinformatics, automation of workflows is a must. In some cases it is possible to find existing software packages to achieve your goal. However, often no suitable package is available for your specific tasks and development of your own piece of software is needed.
Fortunately these days you can find programming platforms with a simple syntax and which require minimal knowledge about computer technology. Python is a programming language that is perfectly suitable for scientific programming: It is simple to learn, but powerful enough even for complicated tasks.
The 2-day course will get you started with python programming and result in a fully functional script for a real life application in Biological NMR: The conversion from CYANA distance restraints to XPLOR distance restraints. It consists of short lectures that introduce you to basic python programming concepts, followed by long practical sessions to get you familiar with all the theoretical topics covered in the lectures. To illustrate the learned techniques they are directly applied to build the CYANA to XPLOR conversion script in the practicals.
Date
The 2 day course will take place following the Bio-NMR AUM in Warsaw, on May 9-10, 2014.
