Bioinformatics Plotting Sequence Lengths and GC Content with Biopython and Matplotlib

Bioinformatics Plotting Sequence Lengths and GC Content with Biopython and Matplotlib

In Day 9 of 12 days of Biopython, I am going to show you how to plot biological/sequence data using Biopython and matplotlib. I am going to show you how to plot a histogram of sequence length and how to plot GC content. Chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:35 Get orchid genome data in FASTA file 0:42 Parsing FASTA file - SeqIO and storing to list 1:00 Plotting histogram of sequence lengths 2:00 Plotting GC content of sequences from FASTA file 3:01 Outro You canlink to the Github code here. My videos are aimed at everyone interested in Computer Science applications in biology. The mission is to simplify Bioinformatics concepts, one video at a time! Follow me on Twitter.
