Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics

Education facts

Code: BIO210

The DNA sequences of genomes for hundreds of organisms are known today. Most of these organisms are bacteria but also uni- and multicellular eukaryotic organisms are represented among them humans. The function of many of the now identified genes is unknown which implies a new way of scientific reflection. The course illustrates this in a interdisciplinary perspective with emphasis on experimental methodology.

Entry requirements
