Description
In the post-genomic era, the analysis of large omics datasets has become central to bioinformatics and biological research. The development of many high throughput techniques for genome sequencing and measuring the expression or abundance of genes, proteins and metabolites, has given rise to a plethora of new informatics algorithms and techniques for analysing and interpreting the experimental data. This course will introduce bioinformatics analysis methods for different omics studies and bioimaging data, and will introduce students to commonly used computational methods and frameworks for large-scale analysis.
Course Objectives
Understand the impact of the genomic revolution on biology
Gain a theoretical and practical understanding of the bioinformatics analysis methods required for interpreting data generated in omics experiments
Gain practical experience of commonly used methods and tools
Timetable
The most recent timetable can be found on the student website:
You will find the timetables for all courses and degree programmes of Leiden University in the tool MyTimetable (login). Any teaching activities that you have sucessfully registered for in MyStudymap will automatically be displayed in MyTimetable. Any timetables that you add manually, will be saved and automatically displayed the next time you sign in.
MyTimetable allows you to integrate your timetable with your calendar apps such as Outlook, Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and other calendar apps on your smartphone.

Registration
From the academic year 2022-2023 on every student has to register for courses with the new enrollment tool MyStudymap. There are two registration periods per year: registration for the fall semester opens in July and registration for the spring semester opens in December. Please see this page for more information.
Please note that it is compulsory to both preregister and confirm your participation for every exam and retake. Not being registered for a course means that you are not allowed to participate in the final exam of the course. Confirming your exam participation is possible until ten days before the exam.
