Module: Teoria
-------
The aim of the course is to provide the students the tools needed for the analysis and interpretration of the biological data. Indeed, the course intends to give the theortical basis for the application of the principal bioinformatic tools, used in genomics and proteomics
Module: Laboratorio
-------
The laboratory aims to provide intensive practical lessons in which freely available state of art tools wil be used in order to access and anlyze the biological relevant data.
Module: Teoria
-------
Biological databases. FASTA format. We will analyze the way in which the principal biological databases are used for the anotation of genomes. ENSEMBL.
Methods for the prediction and the annotation of the functional elements of a genome
