SBC

In this course you will learn current techniques for analysing genomes and how comparative genomics can be used to understand the evolution and function of genomic sequences. The structure of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes is studied, and principles for gene prediction and sequence comparison are explained. The course also includes methods for phylogenetic reconstruction and orthology prediction as well as other methods to understand the evolution and function of genes and genomes. It is targeted to bioinformaticians working with gene and protein sequence anaysis, particularly with a genomic and/or evolutionary perspective. See Syllabus 2009
