551-1299-00L | Introduction to Bioinformatics Number of participants limited to 50. | W | 6 credits | 4G | S. Sunagawa, M. Gstaiger, A. Kahles, G. Rätsch, B. Snijder, E. Vayena, C. von Mering, N. Zamboni | |
Abstract | This course introduces principle concepts, the state-of-the-art and methods used in the field of Bioinformatics. Major topics include: genomics, metagenomics, network bioinformatics, and imaging. Lectures are accompanied by practical exercises that involve the use of common bioinformatic methods and basic programming. | |||||
Objective | The course will provide students with the theoretical background in the area of genomics, metagenomics, network bioinformatics and imaging. In addition, students will acquire basic skills in applying modern methods that are used in these sub-disciplines of Bioinformatics. Students will thus be able to access and analyze DNA sequence information, construct and interpret networks that emerge though interactions of e.g. genes/proteins, and extract information based on computer-assisted image data analysis. Students will also be able to assess the ethical implications of access to and generation of new and large amounts of information as they relate to the identifiability of a person and the ownership of data. | |||||
Content | Ethics Case studies to learn about applying ethical principles in human genomics research Genomics Genetic variant calling Analyze and critical evaluate genome wide association studies Metagenomics Reconstruction of microbial genomes Microbial community compositional analysis Quantitative metagenomics Network bioinformatics Inference of molecular networks Use of networks for interpretation of (gen)omics data Imaging High throughput single cell imaging Image segmentation Automatic analysis of drug effects on single cell suspension (chemotyping) | |||||
Prerequisites / Notice | Bringing your own laptop is a prerequisite for taking this course. |
