languages for bioinformatics

So my bioinformatician friends tell me that the two main computer languages they learn are Python and R.  If you are doing bioinformatics, which language do you use most and why?  For those of you who wish to learn, here are links for courses on  

1. Python
2. R





(The missing link for Learn the R statistical programming language has been fixed now)

BLOG INAUGURATION

BLOG INAUGURATION

This blog could also be titled "adventures in biology" because it is going to chronicle our journeys into the life of cells and molecules.  The San Francisco Bay Area is a brilliant point of light in the global science network (You knew that, didn't you?). I'd like to thank the citizen scientists of the Bay Area biohacker community for your kind help and support.  I'm not mentioning any names in this post but you know who you are.  Nenufar loves you!
Nenufar is preparing to conduct our first experiment to produce a peptide,  Hey, why don't we give it a name?

NML-0001

Our interest in lectins with antiviral properties led to research that indicates that this peptide may have medical applications.  We will say more about this in future posts.

We will welcome any interested parties interested in science to join with us on this adventure,  please leave your comments and questions as the experiment progresses.
