Not just exercises: each lab is a small project. You get a brief and some data, write the code, answer a few questions and explain your approach.
A lab-mate hands you an unlabeled DNA fragment. Build the toolkit that profiles it, transcribes it, translates it and weighs the protein it encodes.
A sequencing run just landed and nobody trusts the data yet. Build the parse, clean, filter, trim and quality-check steps that turn raw files into data you can use.
Investigate an unknown stretch of genome like a bioinformatician, from locating where replication starts to finding genes, hidden signals and CpG islands.
Code runs in a notebook on your own computer, and your submission is re-checked on our server against hidden tests. A lab is completed when every stage has passing code and an explanation (the questions are a self-check). Labs don't count toward track certificates or your CD Score.
