Contents
Selected bioinformatic methods required for calculations in the natural sciences, in particular from the field of biological databases (e.g. NCBI, Swissprot), algorithms for sequence alignments (e.g. Needleman-Wunsch, Smith-Waterman, ClustalW, BLAST), phylogenetic reconstruction, as well as methods from the field of structural bioinformatics (e.g. pymol, docking). The methods are presented in the lecture. During the exercise, their application will be practiced using concrete case studies.
Qualification Goals
The students are familiar with the most important bioinformatic methods required for calculations in the natural sciences. They have understood these methods and are able to select and carry out suitable bioinformatic procedures for concrete case studies.
Prerequisites
Translation is missing. Here is the German original:
