In addition to its default features, there are lots of external packages including those used for data wrangling (Pandas) and visualization (Seaborn) that enhances analysis efficiency. Participants will get hands-on experience with general Python scripting as well as using external packages to work with tabular data and create visualizations. Only NIH staff can attend this course and a Biowulf account is required for participation. Schedule of classes for this series is listed below.
