Bioinformatics: DNA Sequencing Informatics II

Education facts

Code: BINP29

<p>BINP29</p><p>After assembling of data, generated by new sequencing methods such as "next generation sequencing", the results must be linked to the underlying biological questions. It implies that the subsequent analysis will require different bioinformatics methods. The course gives example of a large number of bioinformatics applications to answer different issues e.g. classification of genetic variants ("variant calling"), phylogenetic analysis, and advanced sequence annotation. Emphasis is on large-scale analyses.</p> <p>The student also learns how to combine data from different analyses and performs several programming assignments in Python.</p> <p>The course includes an individual project assignment that is solved by means of programming. The student hereby gets the opportunity to specialise in one or more of the above-mentioned areas.</p><p>https://www.biologyeducation.lu.se/education/courses/advanced-level-courses/dna-sequencing-informatics-ii-binp29</p>
