Practical Course: Bioinformatics Applications in Genome Research


392177 Dörr Summer semester 2017 Block 13.03.2017-24.03.2017 - 9:30-17:30 Uhr in V6-116 ekvv

Content

In this course, practical applications and issues in concrete problem statements and handling real data sets will be addressed. The following topics are intended: assembly, scaffolding, annotation, gene prediction, comparative analysis, etc.

Theoretical knowledge of the students shall be supplemented by practical aspects such as setting up and running existing tools, implementing small own tools, pre- and postprocessing, and critical interpretation of results. A continuously enriched visualization of the data and the obtained results will also guide through the course.

  • Requires participation in the lecture “Algorithms in Genome Research”.
  • Beside regular and active participation in the course, each student gives a short (15min) presentation and presents their results shall to other participants.
