| This module is designed to introduce students to basic bioinformatics. Topics covered include structure of archives and information retrieval, use of basic common bioinformatics tools to analyse DNA and protein sequences, methods for predicting secondary and tertiary protein structure, the concept behind sequence alignments and the data matrices used to compute those, use of bioinformatics in molecular systematics as well as for functional genomics and gene expression profiling. The biostatistics component includes statistical methods and their applications in biology e.g. contingency tables, probit analysis and some non-parametric tests are discussed amongst others. |
