Practical Course "Bioinformatics: Computer Methods in Molecular and Systems Biology" organized by ICGEB

Jelena and Zoran participated in Practical Course "Bioinformatics: Computer Methods in Molecular and Systems Biology" organized by International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) in the period  26 - 30 June 2017 in Trieste, Italy.

We were honored to get lectures from some of the most renowned scientist in this field:

Leonardo MARIÑO-RAMIREZ (NCBI, NLM, NIH, Computational Biology Branch, USA)

Christoph SENSEN (Graz University of Technology, Austria)

Laurent FALQUET (Department of Biology Biochemistry University of Fribourg Switzerland)

Sándor PONGOR (Faculty of Information Technology and Bionics, Pázmány University, Budapest, HU)

The Course covered the following topics:

·         Genome and proteome databases

·         Similarity searching, alignments

·         Sequence phylogeny

·         Genome projects, functional genomics

·         Next-generation sequencing data analysis using open source software

·         High throughput methods, RNA-Seq, Chip-Seq
