Start your journey in BioTechnology!

Professor and researcher Dr. Alex Feltus has built a powerful computational biology journey at New Skills.Tech. In this interactive, online journey, students will learn how to use Linux-based computing and the command line, Jupyter Notebooks, and the basic syntax of Python for the purpose of workforce development and research in biosciences.

This course includes application techniques using Python to parse genomics data files, transcribe DNA files into RNA files, and translate RNA files into protein sequence files. Students will also explore the genomics of the Coronavirus and learn to use Python to understand transcription and translation using its genome. Qualifies for the BioHackers: Digital Biology digital badge.
