Python for Bioinformatics
Python has become the de facto language for bioinformatics due to its simplicity and powerful libraries like BioPython, Pandas, and NumPy.
Applications
- Sequence Analysis: Parsing DNA/RNA sequences.
- Structural Biology: Visualizing protein structures (like 3Dmol.js!).
- Data Visualization: Plotting complex datasets with Matplotlib and Seaborn.
python
from Bio.Seq import Seq
my_seq = Seq("AGTACACTGGT")
print(my_seq.complement())
