Aim
Sequencing and identifying genes in complex genomes is a difficult task. The course focuses on how the computer can solve this problem, and which helper data can be used. Furthermore, the course will deal with the global analysis of gene regulation and metabolic networks.
Contents
1. Gene finding: What biological signals can be used in the development of statistical models for gene structure prediction and how can the results be evaluated?
2. Microarray data analysis: datamining tools, clustering, reconstruction of regulatory pathways, inference of function of unknown genes
3. Genome projects: whole genome assembly, comparison of genomes, searches for regulatory sequences, reconstruction of metabolic pathways.
4. Experimental bioinformatics: protein interaction networks, Expressed Sequence Tags (EST) analysis
