Beginner level projects for bioinformatics.

Hi, I am a 1 year masters bioinformatics student and I have skills such as python and I am looking for some beginner level projects to add in my CV. Can anyone suggest me some good projects?

data-science python

May be you can try using your Python skills to create a custom script which can incorporates SNPs into a fasta files or full genome of an organism (eg Human).

Try implementing a de Bruijn graph assembler? (Should be quite straightforward in python.)

My first project in Bioinformatics was to make a plot with GC content throughout a small genome. I have done this with Python... Also a more trikcy project for beginner was to try to find all ORFs in a genome , you can also use python for that, although it can be done with R too....

Work through problems on Rosalind and maybe take a crack at some of the more bioinformatics-related challenges on Kaggle.
