Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this practical course the participants acquire the knowledge and expertise to annotate and analyze prokaryotic genome sequences. This includes gene prediction, prediction of protein functions and structures and comparative genome analyses. The analysis of complete, yet unpublished genome sequences in this practical course allows us to address recent scientific questions in microbiology and microbial ecology using genomic methodologies. Basic knowledge in Bioinformatics and Genomics (as e.g. teached in lecture 300311) are required.

Assessment and permitted materials

Written report in the format of a publication.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Understanding and application of important computational methods for the analysis of genome sequences; automatic large-scale application of programs using small, self-written scripts; interpretation of the results of computational analyses with regard to the corresponding organism.

Examination topics

Diverse computational methods for genome analysis, programming language Perl.
Work in small work groups (each group analyzes another genome sequence).

Reading list

Provided throughout the seminar.
