Episode 1: Variables in Python | For Bioinformaticians

This is Episode 1 of the Python for Bioinformatics (Beginner Series), where we start with one of the most important basics in Python: variables.

👉 In this video, you’ll learn:
* What variables are (simple explanation)
* How to create and use them with numbers, text, and decimals
* How to store a DNA sequence in a variable
* How to save a sample ID (like an SRA run ID)
* How to update variable values in Python

By the end, you’ll understand how variables act like labeled containers for your data, making your scripts organized, reusable, and powerful.

🔬 Perfect for beginners in bioinformatics, genomics, or life sciences who are learning Python step by step.
