Bioinformatik: It og Sundhed - course programme, winter 2009
Teachers:
Curriculum:
The curriculum consists of hand-out notes and the computer exercises themselves.
There is no formal text-book. All needed reading material will be available online, linked directly from this page.
The material can be read on a day-to-day basis.
Exam:
Oral exam 7-scale grades.
Where and when:
The Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby Campus, Exact location at DTU-CBS (Building & room) to be announced later. Directions on how to get to DTU (Lyngby) and a map of the buildings are found here:
DTU Directions. Map of the DTU buildings here.
The course runs for 10 weeks with lectures and exercises 1 day a week (week 46 - week 3) from 9:15 to ~16:00
(or wheneven the computer execersis of the day has been completed).
The exam will be in week 4, 2010.
Each day starts with lectures in the morning, and concludes with computer excersices in the afternoon. Teaching will be in danish, but slides and readings are most often in english.
Hardware / Software used
The computer exercises can be executed from any internet connected computer (Mac, Linux, Windows) with a modern browser
(e.g. FireFox, Safari or a recent version of Internet Explorer - a browser which supports tabs is recommended) and Java installed.
Java is used in some exercises to run visualization software. Link: www.java.com.
We recomment the JEdit text editor for use on sequence files, since it is well suited for this purpose and is platform independent.
Link: www.jedit.org.
For the protein structure exercise the PyMOL software (also cross-platform) will be used.
