Biology Week Supplement
February 20, 2006- March 3, 2006
UPCOMING SYMPOSIA:
February 27, March 1 and 2
Bioinformatics for Biologists: Unix, Perl & BioPerl
Whitehead Institute, 9 Cambridge Center
1:30pm - 3:30pm
These classes introduce the concept of customizing and automating data analysis with bioinformatics programming tools.
Day 1: Unix
Basics about the Unix operating system and how to download genomic data
and run programs locally for analysis. Includes examples of blast and
emboss.
Day 2: Perl
You will learn the basics of programming with Perl, a scripting language
used extensively in Bioinformatics. Examples of basic bioinformatics
scripts will be presented.
Day 3: Perl and BioPerl
This session will continue the discussion of Perl and will demonstrate
how to write web scripts, draw graphics and use BioPerl (a package that
lets you manipulate sequence information easily).
Register online at http://www.wi.mit.edu/bioinfo/cee_bioinfocourse.htm
