At the exam in Introduction to Bioinformatics, you are going to use the same resources (web-servers and programs) that you used for the exercises — if your computer has worked fine for all the exercises, it will also work fine for the exam.
Hardware
- A laptop.
- It makes no difference whether you use Windows, Mac, or Linux, as long as you have the listed software. However, an iPad, an Android tablet, or a Chromebook will NOT be enough for the exam.
- A mouse.
- A mouse is important in order to use PyMOL (see below) optimally. The mouse should have two buttons plus a scroll-wheel in the middle.
Internet connection
Your computer must be able to connect to DTU wi-fi.
Software
- A modern Internet Browser (FireFox, Edge, Safari (Mac only), Google Chrome, Opera).
- NB: You must have FireFox, Chrome, or Opera on your machine, so you are able to switch browser in case Edge (Windows) or Safari (Mac) has trouble with a certain website.
- Geany (or another GOOD plain text editor)
- Download and install from http://geany.org/, see the Plain text files and Geany exercise.
- PyMol
- Download and install from https://pymol.org/, see the PyMol tutorial and the exercises in PDB & PyMol, and Malaria vaccine.
- A license file is found on Learn → Content → Week 06.
- Seaview
- Download and install from http://doua.prabi.fr/software/seaview, see Exercise: Multiple Alignments (Seaview version).
- Text processing software
- for writing your answers. You can e.g. use:
- Microsoft Word
- OpenOffice / NeoOffice / LibreOffice
- Pages (for Mac).
- Google Docs
- Tool for making PDF files
- included in Windows 10/11 and Mac.
- Tool for taking screenshots
- included in Microsoft Word, Windows 10/11, and Mac.
