Learning outcomes The course aims to introduce students to different algorithms and computational techniques used in modern bioinformatics and to their application in solving problems in biology and medicine, with emphasis on applications of molecular biology.
At the end of this course students should be able to:
- Know the most important biological databaeses and collect information from these databases.
- Know how to parameterize adequately the most common search and sequence alignment algorithms.
- Understand the motivations, assumptions and limitations of computational techniques that are applied to solve problems in biology.
- Identify research directions in Bioinformatics.
