Introduction to bioinformatics 2 1000-714BI2
The lecture and the accompanying laboratory provide the basis for the application of computer science and computational science to the analysis of genes, genomes and proteins as also to drug design and systems biology. The framework program is as follows:
1. Structures of biopolymers, and molecular graphics tools.
2. Simulation methods (MM, MC, MD, BD, etc)
3. Protein folding (as process)
4. Modeling of protein structures
5. Protein-protein interactions and interactions …
6. Basics of drug design
7. Omics and data analysis from experiments
8. Literature mining
9. Systems biology (idea)
10. Image information analysis
