  • 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.
  • Schedule
    • 28 March 2022, 08:00-9:15: Lecture 1: "RNA-seq & DE" (Sven)

    • 29 March 2022, 08:00-9:00: Tutorial 2: "Clustering" (Alex)
    • 29 March 2022, 09:15-10:45: Lecture 3: "More seq-data" (Sven)
    • 29 March 2022, 11:00-12:00: Tutorial 3: "More seq-data" (Daniel)
    • 4 April 2022, 14:00-18:00: Flipped classroom: Bioinformatics exercises (Anneke, Alex, Daniel, Olga)
    • 5 April 2022, 8:00-9:30: Lecture 4: "Biological Networks" (Sven)
    • 5 April 2022, 10:00-11:30: Tutorial 4: "Biological Networks" (Daniel)
    • 6 April 2022, 08:00-10:30: Lecture 5: "Advanced clustering" (Sven)
    • 6 April 2022, 11:00-12:00: Final Session: "Wrap-up & feedback" (all)

On 28/29 March we present the core material of this module. We will hand out simple bioinformatics exercises based on the tutorials. Students should work on these exercise until April 4 on which day we will do a 4h "Flipped classroom" where they can discuss these exercise with tutors.

Additional lectures and tutorial will be given on April 5 and 6.
