3. By Michael Schroeder, Biotec3 Bioinformatics Bioinformatics = Biological + Informatics - Logical

4. By Michael Schroeder, Biotec4 How to teach bioinformatics nApplied bioinformatics nUse bioinformatics tools to answer biological questions nProgramming for bioinformatics nLearn how to use databases and how to programme in Python nTerm 3: Structural and computational biology

5. By Michael Schroeder, Biotec5 Structure of module nOverview nA bit of everything nA web tour: nonline resources for DNA and protein sequences, protein structures and expression data nSequence comparison nDot plots nDynamic programming nSubstitution matrices nMultiple alignments nBLAST nPSI-BLAST nPhylogeny nProtein structure

6. By Michael Schroeder, Biotec6 Practicals nTwo types: nBio: You’ll be given a biological questions and you’ll use online resource to answer the question nComputing: You learn about Unix and Python, however you need to teach yourself, too. Please buy a Python book nEach week you work through some questions during the lab and do some homework nJoachim Haupt and Janine Roy

7. By Michael Schroeder, Biotec7 Assessment nWritten exam counting 80% of final mark nPracticals: Test during lab (week 10) and homework counting 20% nTest: Will involve using online tools and resources to answer some questions nHomework: you must pass at least 10 homework assignments (there will be 13 overall). Passing means that >50% of your answers are correct nFor homework you get pass/fail nFor the test you get a mark given that your homework is pass nStrategy for preparation nBuy book nRead book nFollow slides nDo all labs and homework
