Learning objectives: |
---|
| | To build on the introductory bioinformatics course. Introduce the students to selected, fast-evolving, or otherwise noteworthy areas of bioinformatics. To allow space for creative activities resulting in the creation of a computational tool based on studied principles. |
Description: |
---|
| | During the lectures, the students will get acquainted with areas integrating different bioinformatic data-types. They will study possibilities of data integration to solve specific problems or create specific computational tools. Textbook material will be supplemented by recently published scientific papers. Students will work on individual computational modules in the exercises/projects leading to the creation of an integrated whole-class tool suitable for general bioinformatic analysis (functional annotation, structural prediction, molecule visualization). |
Subject specific learning outcomes and competences: |
---|
| | Knowledge of less-common algorithm and analysis methods, better ability to design and implement algorithms for bioinformatics. |
Generic learning outcomes and competences: |
---|
| | Deeper understanding the role of computers in the analysis and presentation of biological data. |
