Hello everyone. I am a microbiology post graduation student and I would like to enhance my in silico skills. What programming language are better suited as a starter?
These days, I would suggest Python, as quite a lot of current research programs are written in it and it is fairly easy to learn.
I myself like Perl better, but that language has fallen out of favor in the last decade.
Python is known for its simplicity and readability, making it an excellent choice for beginners. It has a vast array of libraries and frameworks specifically designed for bioinformatics, such as Biopython, which can help you analyze biological data efficiently.
Coding for biologists involves using programming languages like R or Python for data analysis, bioinformatics, simulations, and automation, enhancing research capabilities and enabling insights into complex biological systems.
