Course content
The course aims at providing an introduction to the use of important methods in bioinformatics, including sequence library searches, pairwise and multiple alignment, phylogenetic analysis, gene prediction and structure prediction. The usage of these methods is also discussed in a systems biology context, and ontologies, large scale analysis and studies of complex systems will be discussed. The students will be able to test the methods on realistic problems through PC-based exercises. There will be emphasis on using an interdisciplinary approach during presentations and exercises, in order to make the course accessible to students in informatics as well as medicine and molecular biology.
Learning outcome
The aim of the course is to give the students a basic introduction to applied bioinformatic methods, including principles from systems biology, making the students capable of applying relevant methods to their own problems.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and exercises (in computer lab). The lectures are held in the spring semester and start in early February. Postponed exam will be oral. The language of instruction and examination is English.
