Description |
|
| This five-day intensive computer laboratory course is designed to help participants construct a working library of bioinformatic tools and resources. The format will combine lectures and interactive problem-solving sessions with each participant working individually at a computer. The flow of the course will move from traditional sequence analysis techniques to the opportunities afforded by large-scale genomic information. Afternoon research seminars by the instructors will sample academic and private sector visions of bioinformatics and highlight creative approaches to utilizing genomic data. (Please note: this course is designed to provide an overview of the field; detailed training in specific packages will not be provided.) Technical Program: In general the format for each day will include lecture (4 hours), computer lab (4 hours), and a research seminar (1 hour). Topics include: * Molecular and organismal databases * Sequence assembly * Gene finding * Pairwise and multiple sequence alignments * Scoring methods * Phylogenetics * Comparative Mapping * Protein structure * RNA folding * Gene expression analysis * Biochemical networks |
