Hi all,
I wanted to forward this list of classes teaching programming for biologists. They're week-long courses, and they're hands-on. So it's a big commitment, but you can learn way more than, for example, my 1-day class with more trivial examples. The bad news: they cost a few hundred bucks. And I haven't taken the courses, so I don't know how good they are. Still, I get the impression you can learn enough here to really do some damage, without having to take a full semester programming course at the Extension School or something.

The following courses at Bioinformatics.Org are coming up and available for registration. Please see the corresponding URLs for more information.
CS101A Perl for Biologists, Level 1; Jan. 24-28, 2011
Taught in the context of biological research, this course helps biologists learn how to use the scripting language Perl to automate certain tasks. Armed with some knowledge and hands-on experience with a programming or scripting language, scientists taking a CS101 course at the Bioinformatics Organization will be able to perform basic software development tasks and phrase research questions in the context of the language.

CS101B R for Biologists, Level 1; Jan. 31-Feb. 4, 2011
Taught in the context of biological research, this course helps biologists learn how to use the statistical scripting language R for data analysis. Armed with some knowledge and hands-on experience with a programming or scripting language, scientists taking a CS101 course at Bioinformatics.Org will be able to perform basic software development tasks and phrase research questions in the context of the language.

CS101E Python for Biologists, Level 1; Feb. 7-11, 2011
This course teaches Biologists how to use Python as a programming language to automate routine data management tasks in biological research and solve difficult data-related computational problems. Data could be DNA or amino acid sequence, microarray data, images, mass spectrometry data, LIMS data, or any other kind of biological information.

Happy New Year Sequencing Users,
We'll hold our monthly High Throughput Sequencing user meeting tomorrow, Tuesday January 4th at 1pm in NWL room 425.
Our HiSeq is now fully up and running, so we can discuss this platform as well as any other sequencing topics you might like to bring up.
Hope to see you there,
Claire
