Bioinformatics Foundations

Work with DNA and protein sequences the way a bioinformatician does: composition, transcription, translation, file formats and alignment — demonstrated in a working lab, not a multiple-choice exam.

WHO IT'S FOR

Read and analyse biological sequences — hands-on, in code.

B.Tech / M.Sc Biotechnology & Bioinformatics students
Life-sciences researchers entering computation
Lab scientists moving into genomics
Anyone bridging biology and code

What you'll master

Six domains. All hands-on.

Every domain is taught inside working labs with synthetic patients — explained in plain language first, with the technical depth one click away when you want it.

01

Sequence composition

Length, base counts and GC content — the first measures of any sequence.

02

Strands & transcription

Reverse complement and DNA → mRNA, the central dogma in practice.

03

Translation

Reading codons into proteins with the genetic code.

04

Sequence formats

Parse FASTA and handle multi-record files cleanly.

05

Pairwise alignment

Needleman–Wunsch: scoring, dynamic programming and traceback.

06

Reproducible analysis

Write sequence code that another scientist can re-run and trust.
