Bioinformatics for molecular biology (10.0/8.0 credit points)

Description 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 work. Students are encouraged to bring a lap-top; we will be set up for in-course demonstrations as well as practical lab exercises. The course is intended for biology students or computer science/math students. No prior background in bioinformatics or computer science is required.

The course is jointly delivered by the Biotechnology Centre of Oslo, the Department of Molecular Biosciences (IMBV), the Department of Informatics (IFI) and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences. This course is one of the Ph.D. School courses offered by the Biotechnology Centre of Oslo (http://www.biotek.uio.no/ny-web/events/).

Registration is now open as of July 3rd, 2009.

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.
