Prof. Dr. Rolf Backofen
This is the introductory lecture to bioinformatics and its algorithms of the bioinformatics group. The lecture is mandatory for the group's advanced lectures in bioinformatics.
The topics of the course include sequence alignment, multiple alignment, homology search, molecular phylogeny, comparative genomics, gene and genome annotation, RNA analysis, protein structure, hidden markov models, machine learning.
Objectives: The course shall give an overview of bioinformatics topics and understanding of fundamental algorithms. The special focus of the course is on sequence analysis.
Der Leistungsnachweis zu Vorlesung soll in Form einer mündlichen Prüfung erbracht werden. Die aktive Teilnahme an der zur Vorlesung angebotenen Übung ist dabei essentiell für diese Prüfung.
Von Vorteil bzw. voraussgesetzt sind
The course requires very simple and fundamental understanding of molecular biology. In the first two lectures you will have the chance to repeat and/or learn the necessary foundations.
