Bioinformatics I (Genomics and Gene Expression Analysis)

We will discuss common types of sequencing data and perform hands on analyses in:
Genomics:
DNA sequencing platforms
Tools for genome assemblies
Transcriptomics:
RNA-seq and Ribo-profiling analysis, detection of differentially expressed genes
Evolution of gene expression
Epigenomics:
Examples of analyses different datasets, e.g. Chip-Seq (histone modifications).

Target group: Experimental biologists and/or theoreticians looking to analyze large-scale sequencing data.

Prerequisites: none.

Evaluation: Three project reports.

Teaching format: Each week there will be an introductory lecture followed by a computational assignment.
