I devloped and taught this course at Graz University of Technology in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018. The course is designed for master degree students in molecular medicine, molecular biology, and molecular biology with minimal prior exposure to bioinformatics and programming. This is a lab course with short lectures with a heavy emphasis on use of both command line and web-based tools.
There are 5 lecture slide decks in lectures and 8 lab exercise sets in labs. The topics include (with sequence meaning DNA sequence):
- Sequence retrieval and database search
- Multiple sequence alignment
- Phylogenetic analysis
- Next-generation sequencing (NGS) de novo assembly
- NGS read alignment
- RNA-seq assembly and analysis
- Gene list functional annotation
- Metagenomic analysis
