Lead instructor: Filippo Geuna
The course will provide an introductory and hands-on approach to the main bioinformatic tools for genome data analysis including the use of the INDACO high-performance computing (HPC) cluster.
The course includes lectures and computer exercise.
Program
- Review of research methods and technologies and use of molecular markers.
- Practical examples of application of the tools described above in model species.
- Methods of bioinformatic analysis of genomes.
- Introduction to the main packages of interest for bioinformatics applications.
- High-performance computing infrastructures (HPC) and examples of use of the INDACO university platform.
- During the course, consultation texts, original articles, multimedia material and the PDF files containing the material illustrated in class and the subject of the practical exercises updated every year are suggested, which the student can download from the teacher's personal website.
