About the course

Spring course.

This course can be taken as a singular course.

The course is a continuation of BIO-2304, Introduction to Bioinformatics and deals with topics such as genomes and genome structures, genome sequencing, assembly and annotation, evolution, functional genomics and modelling.

Objectives of the course

To give the students an introduction to the genomes and genomics of organisms. To develop insight into the use of bioinformatic instruments for assembly and annotation and further insight about tools for functional tasks such as micro-array and modelling. To develop understanding about how bioinformatics can be used as a tool to design experimental experiments and analyse results.
