Course description

Advanced Bioinformatics equips the student with the interdisciplinary knowledge and skills necessary to meet the data-centred challenges of modern-day biology. Effective methods and algorithms for uncovering patterns in genomic data of different forms are discussed, and in several cases developed and applied to representative problems. The course has three over-arching themes each supported by lectures and project-based work: (1) Biological sequence data and their analysis, (2) Biological structure and discovering functional features, and (3) Systems biology, phylogeny and models of evolution.
