Training Courses
As part of its work with the Babraham Institute, the Bioinformatics group runs a regular series of training courses on many aspects of bioinformatics.
These courses are run regularly on the Babraham site but we are also able to come out and present them on other sites. You can see the list of current Babraham dates which are available, and you can contact us to discuss options for running courses on your site.
You can also sign up to our mailing list to get the latest training news delivered direct to your inbox every couple of months.
Where possible we also aim to make the material from our courses publicly available so that anyone who wants to can download them for their own use.
Below is a list of the courses we currently run. Where they are available there is a link to the training manual and course exercises.

Learning to Program with Perl (6 x 1.5 hour sessions)
For a long time, Perl has been a popular language among those starting out with programming. Although it is a powerful language, many of its features make it especially suited to first time programmers as it reduces the complexity found in many other languages. Perl is also one of the world's most popular languages which means there are a huge number of resources available to anyone setting out to learn it.
This course aims to introduce the basic features of the Perl language. At the end you should have everything you need to write moderately complicated programs, and enough pointers to other resources to get you started on bigger projects. The course tries to provide a grounding in the basic theory you'll need to write programs in any language, as well as an appreciation for the right way to do things in Perl.
Course Content:
- Getting Started with Perl
- Conditions, Arrays, Hashes and Loops
- File Handling
- Regular Expressions
- Subroutines, References and Complex Data Structures
- Perl Modules
- Interacting with External Programs
- Cross Platform Issues and Compiling

Introduction to Python (3 day bootcamp)
In recent years, the programming language Python has become ever more popular in the bioinformatics and computational biology communities and indeed, learning this language marks many people's first introduction to writing code. This success of Python is due to a number of factors. Perhaps most importantly for a beginner, Python is relatively easy to use, being what we term a "high-level" programming language. Don't let this terminology confuse you however: "high-level" simply means that much of the computational tasks are managed for you, enabling you to write shorter and simpler code to get your jobs done.
This course introduces the basic features of Python3. At the end of this course you should be able to write moderately complicated programs, and be aware of additional resources and wider capabilities of the language to undertake more substantial projects. The course tries to provide a grounding in the basic theory you'll need to write programs in any language as well as an appreciation of the right way to do things in Python.
