The aim of this course is to provide deeper knowledge on algorithms used in bioinformatics. Students should know how most used methods and algorithms work, like pairwise and multiple alignment, BLAST, FASTA, scoring systems, PGMA clustering, PCR and DNA fingerprinting.
Contents
We will focus on algorithms behind the methods introduced in the course Introduction to Bioinformatics. Such algorithms are for instance local and global alignment, sequence assembly, multiple alignment methods and algorithms in phylogenetics.
