| Course abstract | |
| Student gets introduced in most important algorithmic methods used within the field. For the problems considered, algorithms for their solution are studied and analyzed, several of these algorithms students have to implement in a programming language of their choice. Course emphasizes bioinformatics problems that are most important with respect to practical applications - protein and nucleotide sequence and protein structure analysis, although a brief introduction in other subfields of bioinformatics is given. | |
| Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
| • Knowledge depth knowledge and critical understanding about algorithms and computational models in two and more sequence analysis;
• skills to implement the sequence analysis algorithms in a programming language of their choice; • competence to realize DNA (RNA) and protein sequence analysis by using a bioinformatics algorithms; to interpret the results and to analyze them. |
