Bioinformatics
2nd Half
1 Credit
47 Basic Biology Program
S. Shigenobu, I. Uchiyama, M. Nozawa
Four-grade evaluation
Level : Level 2
Competence : Academic expertise
■Outline
Mainly focusing on sequence data analyses, both theoretical background and practical skills of basics bioinformatics are introduced through lectures and hands-on tutorials. Also, students can learn how to apply bioinformatics to genome and transcriptome analyses. This is a two-day intensive course involving both lectures and hands-on.
■Learning objectives
The following three objectives are attained through lectures and hands-on tutorials.
1. Understand basic principles in biological sequence analyses.
2. Master basic skills for genomic and transcriptomic analyses.
3. Learn the current state of genomics and bioinformatics research, and discuss the prospects for life science in the Big Data era.
■Grading policy
In addition to sufficient attendance to the lecture, students must complete an assignment to get credit for the course. Activity in the lectures and tutorials: 50%; An assignment 50%.
■Lecture Plan
This is the 2-day intensive course.
