Applied bio-informatics

Academic year: 2010-2011 Course code module 1MBIC-K-0051 Semester: 1st semester Credits: 4 Study load (hours) 112 Theory (hours): 15,00 Practice/Exercises(hours): Other (hours): 15,00 Part-time program: 1 Instructor(s) Peter De Rijk Language of instruction: Dutch Semester exam information: exam in the 1st and/or 2nd semester Contract restriction information: 1. Prerequisites *Algemene competenties Bioinformatics *Sequentiality Bio-informatics (3BBIC-04) 2. Objectives (expected learning outcomes) The student is expected to learn the basics of scripting and database querying. Students will also learn how to analyse large dataset using batch tools. 3. Course content In the basic bioinformatics course databases and bioinformatics tools were used through the web interfaces. For the analysis of large or repeated datasets, these interfaces are usually not flexible enough and require to much manual work. In this course, the basics of batch processing, scripting and database querying will be tought, and applied in advanced bioinformatics topics, such as datamining. 4. Teaching method Direct contact: Lectures Exercise sessions Personal work: Exercises Assignments - individual 5. Assessment method Exam: Oral, with written preparation Closed book Continuous assessment: Assignments 6. Compulsory reading – study material Network connection (there will be practical exercises in the computer lab) Course and exercises will be made available via the website (http://www.molgen.ua.ac.be/bioinfo/course/applied/index.html)  7. Recommended reading - study material Links with extra material will be available via the website. 8. Tutoring questions about the course can always be asked after the lessons or exercises, or by email. laatste aanpassing: last update: 18/01/2010 11:11 peter.derijk
