| Description: |
In this tutorial we want to look at several software tools that are widely used
at the moment.
E.g.: Programs for sequence comparison (pairwise and multiple alignments,
e.g. ClustalW, T-Coffee, Muscle), programs for phylogenetic reconstruction
(e.g. Phylip, Paup, SplitsTree), database search (e.g. BLAST, HMMer),
visualization (e.g. CGViz), genome finishing, genefinding (e.g. genscan) and
others. |
Requirements for admission:
|
completed Vordiplom Bioinformatik, the lectures
"Algorithms in Bioinformatics I and II" are recommended.
Experiences with Java and at least one scripting language (Python, Perl, bash, ...) are needed. |
|
Course language
The teaching language is German or English if any participant does not
understand German.
For written documents (hand-outs, protocols etc.)
English is recommended.
