Bioinformatics for Cell Biologists - March 15-19, 2010
The course provides essential, practical knowledge about computational methods in biology with focus on developmental biology. After completion of the course, students should be able to utilize basic bioinformatics resources and tools. Students should also be able to apply and integrate current, advanced computational biology methods in their research and to make better use of publicly available genome-wide experimental data sets.
The course commences by introducing important sources of public database and analysis tool resources such as sequence analysis methods that have the most wide spread usage in biology. Common sequence analysis tools are described and used in practice to highlight their advantages and limitations. Practical work and discussions bridge sequence analysis to cellular function. The course includes lectures on current advanced topics that will reflect the leading edge of research and cover knowledge integration and essential systems biology. Integration into practice is emphasized by a project involving the use of the bioinformatics resources covered in the course.
The course takes place in the Computer hall Space at the Berzeliuslaboratoriet (same building as the KI library, the KI bookstore and the Jöns Jacob Restaurant).
