Section 03: Data

Handling data with Pandas, and basic plotting

The notes for today's section are in a Jupyter Notebook, w03-section-notes.ipynb, which you should download and open.

It uses three example data files that you're also want to download:

• section-data.tbl : a toy tabular data set.

• vegetable_prices_2023.csv : some data on vegetable prices from the US Department of Agriculture.

• jakobs_veggie_consumption.tsv : some data on Jakob's veggie eating habits.

Then there's another notebook for you to download with practice exercises: w03-section-exercises.ipynb. It uses two example data files that you'll need:

• PhagesDB_Data.txt : a tabular data set about the SEA-PHAGE phage genomes.

• PhagesDB_accession_numbers.txt A tabular data set of the GenBank accession numbers for SEA-PHAGE phage genome sequences.

(These exercises don't need to be turned in!)

Here are solutions, if you want more guidance: w03-section-solutions.ipynb.
