| Content | Advances in molecular technologies such as genome sequencing, microarrays, and additional high-throughput technologies are dramatically changing the skill sets required by biologists. Although an increasing number of corresponding computer programmes are available with 'easy-to-use' interfaces, the interpretation of their results, and communicating in interdisciplinary teams, including computer scientists, mathematicians and engineers requires a basic understanding of computational approaches. In this lecture of application-oriented bioinformatics, students learn basic skills for computational analysis of data from large-scale experiments. Topics include the presentation of large-scale experimental approaches, data management and examples of popular tools and web resources. More advanced topics will cover computational skills and the analysis of biological sequences. |
