  Learning outcome:

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

  Notes:

  The course is also accepted as a postgraduate course
