Learn bioinformatics at your own pace

Free bioinformatics tutorials for biotechnology and life-science students, organised by topic. Start with the basics, move on to genomics, NGS data analysis, molecular docking and programming, and plan your career, all in one place.

How to Use These Tutorials

Bioinformatics combines biology, computer science and statistics, so it can feel overwhelming at first. These tutorials are arranged as a learning path. If you are new to the field, read the topics in order. If you already know the basics, jump straight to the topic you need using the links below. Every tutorial is written in simple language and focuses on concepts and tools you will actually use in research.

Your Learning Path

STEP 1

Understand the fundamentals

Learn what bioinformatics and computational biology are, the main branches of the field, and the biological molecules you will work with.

STEP 2

Learn the core tools

Get comfortable with essential software and with programming in Python, the most widely used language in bioinformatics.

STEP 3

Work with sequencing data

Explore genomics and next-generation sequencing (NGS): how data is generated, processed and interpreted.

STEP 4

Apply it to drug discovery

See how molecular docking and computational methods are used to study drug targets and design new molecules.

STEP 5

Plan your career

Discover career paths, salaries, the best countries and job portals for bioinformatics roles.
