Class Objectives
/Class Outline
A teacher who is a specialist of bioinformatics and genome biology will give lectures on data literacy, the history of bioinformatics, public databases and data formats in life science, and how to handle big data in
biology including informatics technology used in this research field.
Various computer programs used in the data analysis will also be introduced. Students will understand how to extract biologically relevant information from large-scale analyses of nucleotide sequence data from the next generation sequencers.
