Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years (1.8.2018-31.7.2020), which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course provides you with basic understanding of high-throughput data and computational methods that are commonly used for analysing the data in biological and biomedical problems. After the course you have skills to apply various computational methods in real biological problems and study the field further.
