In this webinar you will be introduced to MATLAB, a high-level language and interactive environment for numerical computation, visualization, and programming. After a quick theoretical introduction, you will learn how to import and access data, pre-process and clean-up data, visualize and analyze your data easily. By using interactive notebook-style live scripts, you will learn how to quickly explore ideas, gain insight into your data, and document and share your results with other researchers. In the second part of the webinar you will learn about MATLAB capabilities for Computational Biology. By using a practical example, you will learn how to visualize and analyze NGS data in MATLAB. Finally, we will introduce tools for dynamical modelling of biological systems.

No prior programming experience is required.
