Bioinformatics at the University of Oslo
Bioinformatics: A course in bioinformatics for molecular biology (10.0/8.0 credit points)
MBV-INF 4410 (M.Sc. level course code)10.0 study points
MBV-INF 9410A (Ph.D. level course code) 10.0 study points
MBV-INF 9410B (Ph.D. level course code) 8.0 study points
The course can be taken as a full course (10 credit points) or as a short version without writing the essay (8 credit points) for Ph.D. level students.
NOTE: The description of the course at http://www.uio.no/studier/emner/matnat/molbio/MBV-INF4410/ is old and will be updated to reflect the course content and format described on this page.
The aim of the course is to introduce students to bioinformatics resources and tools for molecular biology research by having some of the best researchers in Norway to talk about their field in general and then present their own data. Students are encouraged to bring a lap-top; we will be set up for in-course demonstrations as well as practical lab excercises. The course is intended for biology students. No prior background in bioinformatics or computer science is required.
