Core course in MSc Life Science and Technology, elective course MSc Chemistry
Admission requirements
BSc in LST or similar program, the candidates should have basic knowledge in bioinformatics
Description
Main topics:
This course is about bioinformatics approaches to omics data analysis in human health and disease.
It will cover; a) computational analyses of genomic data (genome sequencing approaches, genome assemblies, genomic context analysis, metagenomics), b) computational analyses of transcriptomics data (RNA-Seq and microarray analyses, RNOmics, downstream enrichment and over-representation), c) computational analysis of the proteome (proteomics approaches, protein functional annotation, protein-protein interaction networks), d) medical informatics (SNP analysis, omics in rare and complex disease studies, pathogen genomics)
At the end of the course students:
will have knowledge of fundamental principles in bioinformatics
will have knowledge of the impact of big data and new technologies on the fieldwill be able to analyse a range of omics data using bioinformatics tools
will understand how to apply omics data analyses to problems in biomedicinewill have knowledge of the societal relevance of bioinformatics for the analysis of biomedical problems.
