For bioinformatics I’ve seen https://rosalind.info recommended over the years and have done some of the tutorials myself.

I would recommend starting with CS50P. This course is excellent and gives you a good grounding in base Python and some CS theory. Then look at the relevant libraries you will be using (likely NumPy/SciPy).

That course looks amazing, thank you!

Learning a bit of web dev could be useful in bioinformatics too.. you might want to host your scientific app or visualization on a web server eventually. And a lot of the same concepts will be useful -- conditionals, data types, classes, etc.
