Welcome to the 2023 UCSC Summer Short Course in Bioinformatics and Coding

This free course is an initiative of the UCSC Genomics Institute Committee on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and was created in order to reduce barriers to learning foundational skills in computational biology. Our goal is to make bioinformatics more accessible and inclusive, and to increase access for under-represented and under-resourced communities.

Here you’ll find slides, code, and all the other material we are using to explore the world of bioinformatics.
