A lot of you are approaching me and asking how to get started with programming for #bioinformatics as some find it quite difficult and scary. I always answer don’t be afraid, it’s not going to bite you.I am planing to make video about it but here are some tips how to get started!
1. Start with choosing a programming language that is appropriate to your use case. I always suggest either #python or #R. Python is easier to understand, but R is more advance in terms of #bioinformatics libraries and already available implementations.
Of course there are many more programming languages to choose from but I would suggest to focus first on either #python or #R for #bioinformatics.

Btw if you are already working in the field, share which programming language you use and prefer!
