Beginner Foundation

A hands-on, step-by-step journey from the fundamentals to applied analysis. Trainees learn how to retrieve and clean real sequence data, run core DNA/protein analyses, build high-quality alignments, and generate publication-ready outputs. Each week delivers ~15 training hours (internationally accredited, AInTP) with practical exercises and instructor feedback.
