General
The seminar investigates the main algorithms used in Bioinformatics.
Besides a brief description of commonly used tools, algorithms, and
databases in Bioinformatics, the seminar describes specific tasks that can
be completed using combinations of the tools and Databases. The seminar
focuses on the algorithms behind the most successful tools, such as
the local and global sequence alignment packages: BLAST, FASTA,
Smith-Waterman; and the underlying methods used in fragment assembly
packages. The seminar also covers Hidden Markov Models, and shows
how they can be used in Bioinformatics. The seminar is self contained and
does not assume any special knowledge in biology.
