Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

Students able to:

• use databases, online tools and software for sequence analysis.

• practice with similarity search of sequences (BLAST).

• predict and categorize sequence features as gene-structures, reading frames, active sites, post-translational modification sites, distribution of exons and introns, and regulatory elements.

• discover genetic markers by identification of sequence variations as SNPs, INDELs or microsatellites.

• predict different levels of mRNA and protein structures.

• analyze and compute Next Generation Sequencing datasets.

• relate genomic and transcriptomic data with phenotype.

• generate analytical workflows combining different applications and formats.

• practice with different sequence datasets and develop an own hypothetical project of sequence analysis.

• prepare a presentation and a written scientific report describing and discussing the results obtained in the practical project; synthesizing and contrasting the information of scientific publications with own data.
