2019 - GBIO0002 - Genetics and bioinformatics

 

In this course genetic concepts are introduced that are necessary to understand a selection of bioinformatics related data analysis problems. To solve these problems a variety of analytic tools will be explained and exemplified.

The course is in part based on interactive ex-cathedra lectures and in part on interactive practical sessions. The exercise sessions allow students to become familiar with the theoretical concepts introduced during the theory classes. They prepare students to successfully carry out their homework assignments.

This course is organized by Kristel VAN STEEN and Franck DEQUIEDT

The practical sessions are given by Archana BHARDWAJ
