The completion of the first human genome drafts was just a start of the modern DNA sequencing era which resulted in further invention, improved development toward new advanced strategies of high-throughput DNA sequencing, so called the “high-throughput next generation sequencing” (HT-NGS). The decreasing genome sequencing cost and desire to explore and understand biological machanism at genomic level, speed up the genomic sequencing projects. In the fast growing HT-NGS technologies, the main challenge is to cope with the analysis of vast production of sequencing database through advanced bioinformatics tools. In oder to develope sotware/tools bioinformatician/ biological programmers need to expertise in any one one the programming language. However, sometime one language are not enough to handle all sort of biological needs, which compel us to learn new biologically suitable language to handle ever growing genome or protein sequences.

The next step after reading genetic code is writing a script to analyse and explore the hidden information. This tutorial is aimed to introduce you new biological programming languages with their packages/libraries, and assist in your scripting work.
