Course Programme 2009

The course will be held from April 17 - 30, 2009 (incl.) Please note that due to the limited space, only those registered can participate in the Spring 2009 course.

Lectures and exercises will take place at the Center for Biological Sequence Analysis at the Technical University of Denmark, building 208, auditorium 062.

DAILY SCHEDULE:
09:00 - 12:00 Lectures
12:00 - 13:00 Lunch
13:00 - 16:30 (approximately): Exercises
16:30 - 17:00 (approximately): Discussion

For the afternoon exercises you are supposed to log on to one of CBS' central servers using the User ID and password that will be forwarded to you in an email.

Please note: lecturers will be working on powerpoints and handouts until the last minute, so changes may occur!
