Welcome to the Bioinformatics Series!
Hey future bio-coders! Get ready to explore how biology meets technology in an exciting, hands-on way!
Ever wondered how scientists decode DNA , track viruses , or develop new medicines ? They use code! By the end of this course, you’ll be writing Python programs to analyze genetic data—no prior coding experience needed!
What to Expect?
This 4-part series is designed for beginners! In Session 1, you’ll dive into Python basics and bioinformatics by:
Reading DNA sequences from a file
Counting nucleotides (A, T, C, G)
Converting DNA to RNA
By the end, you’ll have your first bioinformatics script running!
Presented by IEEE Student Branch ULFS2 and led by Elie Dina, PhD student in AI & Data Science.

Speaker(s): Mr Elie Dina,
Agenda:
[]In the first session, we’ll start with the absolute basics of Python —no complicated stuff, just the essentials to get you started. Then, we’ll jump right into bioinformatics by working with real DNA sequences! You’ll learn how to:
Read DNA sequences from a file
Count how many times A, T, C, and G appear
Convert DNA to RNA in just a few lines of code
