Coding for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology

No.11818836 ViewReplyOriginalReport
I was recently accepted into a graduate school program to receive a M.S. in bioinformatics upon completion. Admittedly, I've got no computer science experience and was actually a psychology major in undergrad. The catch is that I've taken enough science courses to be eligible for med school alongside P.A. school which was my original plan. I now find myself looking to become as prepared as possible for grad school. What coding language should I start familiarizing myself with first? I know I'll need it for school so where should I start? I hear Python is pretty easy to start with.
