Learning Objectives
This is a short course to provide basic information and tools that underlie and are commonly used to solve
most of the classical and basic problems in bioinformatics, such as consulting biological databases,
alignments, and multi-alignments
Program
concepts and principles of bioinformatics, matrices for similarity ( PAM and BLOSUM matrices), penalization of insertions and deletions in the alignment, alignment algorithms ( Dot plot, NeedlemanWunsch, Smith-waterman), multi-alignments (Clustal W) , searching in databases with heuristic methods (FASTA and the BLAST family), searching with the profile method in databases (PSI-BLAST)
Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
Students will acquire the following skills:
1- learn and discuss topics covered in class.
2- demonstrate the ability to solve simple problems from biological data found in major biological databases.
