| Lecturers | Volker Roth (volker.roth@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | In this lecture, an introduction into main bioinformatics algorithms is provided. We will discuss both "classical" topics such as Hidden Markov Models, Markov chains, phylogenetic trees and "modern" approaches based on sophisticated (deep) learning models. |
| Learning objectives | This lecture provides an introduction into algorithms and concepts that are important in computational biology / bioinformatics. Students can understand the main algorithmic design principles for problems like sequence alignment, motif finding and phylogenetic inference. Further, students get an overview of modern machine learning methods and their applications to bio-medical problems. |
