Getting Started with Jupyter Notebook (Manning Publications)

In this liveProject, you’ll get hands-on experience using Jupyter Notebook in a real-world data science project. You’ll train a simple KNN classifier and use Jupyter, IPython, and the easy-to-use Markdown markup language to document and share your work. Your challenges will include customizing your notebooks, incorporating your notebooks into a data science project, and sharing your projects with the community on GitHub.

This liveProject is for intermediate Python programmers at the start of their data science careers. Some experience with virtual environments and integrated development environments, as well as a markup language, will be useful but not essential. To begin this liveProject you will need to be familiar with:

Comparing Genes, Proteins, and Genomes (Bioinformatics III) (Coursera)

Once we have sequenced genomes in the previous course, we would like to compare them to determine how species have evolved and what makes them different. In the first half of the course, we will compare two short biological sequences, such as genes (i.e., short sequences of DNA) or proteins. We will encounter a powerful algorithmic tool called dynamic programming that will help us determine the number of mutations that have separated the two genes/proteins.
