Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics plays a crucial role in modern biology, enabling researchers to analyze large-scale biological data and integrate it with existing knowledge found in literature and databases. This course introduces students to key computational problems in bioinformatics and the methods used to tackle them.

Students will gain both theoretical understanding and practical experience in using bioinformatics software and databases. The course provides an in-depth look at essential algorithms and techniques for processing and analyzing sequence data and other quantitative biological measurements. Through a combination of lectures, computer practicals, and project work, students will learn to understand and apply bioinformatics approaches to real biological problems.
