Guaranteed admission.
Language
The courses are conducted in English.
Current technology for massively parallel DNA and RNA sequencing produces large datasets, that can contain millions of sequences. Powerful software tools are needed to analyze these large datasets.
In this course you will learn, among other things, how to use programs that can derive the entire genome sequence of an organism by linking millions of short sequences in the correct order. You will also learn how to study activity patterns of all genes of an organism, using programs that analyze sequences from RNA samples. In addition, you will also learn how to work with bioinformatic analysis software in a UNIX/Linux environment.
