The course contains the fundamental theory of, and the use of, bioinformatics analysis of large data sets from high-throughput genomics and proteomics experiments – in particular, massively parallel DNA sequencing and protein mass spectrometry: how this theory is implemented in state-of-the-art tools for handling, analyzing, and visualizing the data; how these tools are applied on real high-throughput molecular biology data; and how the outcome of the analysis may be interpreted in a biologically or medical relevant context.
The course consists of lectures, student-prepared presentations, computer-based laboratory exercises, and a project.
The course is primarily aimed at students at the Biotechnology Master of Science in Engineering Degree program and the master programmes Medical Biotechnology and Molecular Techniques in Life Science.
