UNIL BSc course: Bioinformatics for Genomics 2022

• Course aims:
  • Get to know some of the the bioinformatics methods necessary for genomic analysis
  • Use these methods on simple real cases
  • Develop an understanding of potential pitfalls and the impact of bioinformatics choices in genomic results

• Prerequisites:
  • Notions of genomics (gene, genome, transcriptome)
  • Basic statistics (what is a test, a p-value)
  • Basic literacy in R and/or Python.

• Teacher: Sven Bergmann

• Assistants
  • Daniel
