The aim of the course is to introduce students to the algorithms used in bioinformatics to facilitate the analysis of large amounts of data. Participants of the course will be familiarized with issues of biology such as gene research. They will learn what databases are needed and how to search them to, for example, find a specific gene. The classes will also cover the study of proteins and how computers can be used to solve major problems in this field.
