Guided bioinformatics Python projects

Question

[mmarcell]

Hello everyone!

Do you know any tutorial / site / courses where you have to solve larger problems using Python and is preferably connected to bioinformatics?

As someone who knows only the basics of python, when facing more complex problems I tend to keep using basic methods that create an inefficient and hard to read script. That is why I feel by working on projects, where I can see efficient and well structured solutions with explanations could be beneficial, but I don't really know where to start and I'm also curious about others experiences.

Thanks in advance!

Did you try - http://rosalind.info/problems/locations/ - I think one can start by solving basic python problems and then slowly transition to more advanced bioinfo-based problems here

Thank you for the answer, I will look into it. Do they provide explained solutions for the specific problems?

I do not think they provide explained solutions (I could be wrong since I used it a while ago). However, you can always try to find solutions on Google from other individuals (for example - https://github.com/Br34th7aking/rosalind-python)
