NCBI Virtual Workshop Series: Getting Started with NCBI Data in Python. NLM Tech Bull. 2022 Mar-Apr;(445):b2.
The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is pleased to announce an upcoming virtual workshop that is now accepting applications. The NCBI Education Team invites you to apply and share this opportunity with any colleagues who may be interested. Our NCBI Virtual Workshops series was developed last fall to expand our reach to individuals who use NCBI resources for biological/biomedical research, science education, and clinical application efforts. Please review the workshop description to understand the intended audience. Each workshop will accept a limited number of participants to facilitate the best possible educational experience.
Title: Getting Started with NCBI Data in PythonDate and time: Tuesday, April 19, 2022, 1:00pm - 4:00pm ET
Description: Learn how to tackle bigger biomolecular datasets more reliably with the power of Python programming. This workshop is designed for biologists without programming experience. Our examples will use genomic, transcript, and protein sequence data, but the programming skills will be broadly relevant for all biologists.
In this workshop you will learn how to:
