Welcome to the coding biologist, a place where biology meets coding meets random musings meets etc? The rapid advancement of omic technologies in the last few decades has lead to an accumulation of increasingly large datasets. Effectively using this mass of new data requires computational skills that are not always taught in a standard biology curriculum. That's where this site comes in. I hope these posts and tutorials will help you navigate the often confusing world of bioinformatics to show you the power and fun of coding (with and without biology). I'm always open to new suggestions for articles so please feel free to contact me if you want to see a post about a particular topic. Or if you're bold, consider saying hey.

biochemistry

Biochemistry is a broad field that uses the principles of chemistry to study biological processes at the molecular level to reveal their mechanistic details.

coding

Coding, or more formally, programming is a means of instructing a computer to do certain tasks. It has applications in nearly every facet of modern life, but is particularly useful when analyzing large datasets or tackling other repetitive tasks.
