Annotation -
The course introduces a multidisciplinary field of bioinformatics. Bioinformatics deals with the methods for storing, retrieving and analyzing biological data, such as nucleic acid (DNA/RNA) and protein sequence, structure, function, pathways and genetic interactions. Students will be introduced to the basic concepts of bioinformatics and computational biology. Hands-on sessions will familiarize students with the details and use of common online tools and resources.
Last update: TAJ143 (03.12.2013)

Students will know:

Basics principles of the sequence similarity and homology.

Sequence alignment and sequence database searching.

Molecular phylogenetic analysis.

Prediction of genes and their structure.

Analysis of DNA microarrays data.

Nucleic acids and proteins structure and its prediction.
