Bioinformatics Course Project

My first serious experience in computational biology, where I got hands-on with both software development and biological data analysis.
As part of the curriculum at the Faculty of Bioengineering and Bioinformatics at Moscow State University, I independently developed a student website and solved a wide range of bioinformatics tasks, including:

• DNA, RNA, and protein sequence analysis,
• multiple sequence alignment,
• phylogenetic tree construction,
• working with biological databases (GenBank, UniProt, PDB),
• protein structure prediction,
• genome annotation,
• mining and parsing biomedical data.

The project involved Java and Perl scripting for bioinformatics pipelines, parsers, and data transformation, along with HTML/CSS for the frontend.
This was a fully hands-on experience where I had to:

• design the structure and UI of the student website;
• write backend logic using Perl/CGI;
• parse FASTA files and BLAST outputs;
• integrate third-party biological resources;
• visualize analytical results.

Yes, the design screams “prehistoric”, but the faculty approved — and that’s what counts!
