Supplier department: Department of Machine Learning and Data Processing – Faculty of Informatics - Prerequisites
- Knowledge of elementary molecular biology and basic problems in bioinformatics and systems biology is expected. Previous undertaking of courses IV107, PA054 and PB050 is welcome, but not required formally.
- Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
- fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- there are 37 fields of study the course is directly associated with, display
- Course objectives
- At the end of the course students should be able to: select appropriate methods for a given problem; obtain and prepare necessary data; analyse the data (using their own program or publically available solutions)
- Learning outcomes
- At the end of the course students should be able to:
- select appropriate computational methods for a given problem;
- analyse selected types of experimental data;
- apply software tools to selected problems of data processing;
- construct and modify qualitative models of biological networks. - Syllabus
- The course will be divided into two parts, each will cover 1-2 methods:
- Bioinformatics:
- operations on genomes
- using Markov models
- Systems biology:
- static analysis of biological networks; Cytoscape, MAVisto tools
- genetic regulatory networks reconstruction; Genomica, ARACNE tools
- data integration
