Description

This course covers bioinformatics approaches that have become fundamental to genomic and post-genomic biology, with an emphasis on their evolutionary underpinnings. Topics include methods and algorithms for sequence analysis, classification and structure prediction; sequence, family and structure databases; genome project informatics; microarrays; pathways, networks and interactions. Practical work emphasises both use and development of software tools for bioinformatics analysis.
