Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Practical introduction to basics of bioinformatics with a focus on sequencing data in the context of evolutionary genetics.
How to use the command line? How to work with bash and integrated tools, and using R for analysis and visualization? How to work with big data files, in particular from DNA sequencing? Which file types are used in this context? How to use reference genomes, how to map and filter sequencing data? How to get genotypes, and how to process these?

Assessment and permitted materials

Active contribution. Solving of 4 challenges during the course (with guidance).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Submission of possible solutions for 4 challenges through Moodle. First, the basic understanding of the approach is evaluated, then the correctness of the solution. Each challenge represents 25% of the mark.

Examination topics

Application of bash commands introduced in the course; application of mapping, genotyping & filtering tools.
