Course preparation from 22113/22163 - Unix & Python Programming for Bioinformaticians and Install Jupyter Notebook

In June 2024, DTU Bioinforamtics is organizing a course on MSc/PhD level (the course 22125 is annotated as a MSc course, and the course 22175 is annotated as a PhD course) in Algorithms in Bioinformatics.

General course objectives::
To provide the student with an overview and in-depth understanding of bioinformatics machine-learning algorithms. Enable the student to first evaluate which algorithm(s) are best suited for answering a given biological question and next implement and develop prediction tools based on such algorithms to describe complex biological problems such as immune system reactions, vaccine discovery, disease gene finding, protein structure and function, post-translational modifications etc.

Prerequisites:
All students from DTU and other universities are welcome. Prerequisites are DTU courses 27611 (Introduction to Bioinformatics), 27619 (Perl og Unix for bioinformaticians) or equivalent. Optional prerequisites are DTU courses 02115, 02102, and 02312 or equivalent (Basic programming courses) The course is a combination of lectures and exercises, and will be conducted in English.

Sign up:
Students enrolled at DTU should sign up through CampusNet.

If you are a student NOT enrolled at DTU, please sign up as a guest student through:
Sign up form for Danish MSc Guest Students
