Inhalt Together with new measurement technologies, the use of computational and mathematical approaches that exploit modern information technology in the study of biological systems have brought about a deep transformation in the practice of molecular biology research. This course aims to train the students into the proficient use of programming in analyzing data derived from projects in life sciences. The format of the course includes 2 hour lectures, in which notions of software design and engineering will be discussed, and programming projects, done both in groups as well as individually. Group projects will come from various areas of life sciences (e.g. gene expression modeling and analysis, machine learning for sequence analysis, image analysis) and individual projects from the students’ areas of interest. The primary programming language is Python, a language broadly used in life sciences applications, but examples from other commonly used languages such as R and Matlab may also be included.
Lernziele By the end of the course, students should be comfortable with accessing and analyzing a wide variety of biological data. Concepts such as reproducibility, modularity, interoperability, and scalability will be emphasised.
Bemerkungen Course registration is limited to 15 students. In the case of over-subscription to the course, selection will be based on the suitability of participants.

Leistungsüberprüfung Lehrveranst.-begleitend
Hinweise zur Leistungsüberprüfung Students must attend at least 80% of the sessions and actively contribute to discussion. Each student will develop, execute, and report the results of an independent project related to the computational methods discussed during the course. Ideally, students will develop their independent project around data from their own research.
