Coding for Codons: Python Notes 2

Python programming notes from my Coursera classes. Part 2 contains information on variables, control flow, data structures, functions, modules, error handling and user input. Examples will be focused towards bioinformatics.

Getting WISEr with Bioinformatics -3/4

The virtual Waksman Institute Summer Experience is a wonderful learning opportunity where we learned how to isolate and analyze the DNA fragments of the duckweed plant using reverse transcriptase, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), gel electrophoresis etc. and bioinformatics tools like BLAST, GenBank etc. These are my notes from the program. Part 3 of 4.

In Search of T. Rex’s Descendants using Bioinformatics!

I came across this interesting article about how scientists were able to trace the closest living relatives of the scary Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaur to a common species that usually ends up on our dinner plate using some online tools and some DNA detective work!
