Bioinformatics for Molecular Biology

All information for 2013 is found here: MBV-INFX410 2013 wiki

This is the wiki for the courses MBV-INF4410, MBV-INF9410, and MBV-INF9410A offered by the Department of Biosciences and Department of Informatics at the University of Oslo (UiO).

The course consists of five weeks of lectures, exercises, a take-home exam (one week), and a take-home partial exam/assignment. The course is open also for non-UiO students. It is only necessary to be physically present in Oslo for certain parts of the course. 

Ph.D. level students may opt to take the course without the take-home partial exam/assignment for only 8 study points (MBV-INF9410A). Both MBV-INF4410 (M.Sc. level) and MBV-INF9410 (Ph.D. level) are 10 study point courses.

Course description

This intensive course will introduce students to bioinformatics resources and tools for molecular biology research. All the lecturers are among the top researchers working within the fields of bioinformatics and computational biology in the Oslo region. Students must bring their own lap-top for in-course demonstrations as well as for practical lab exercises. The course is mainly intended for biology students, but also for computer science students or students from other fields of science with an interest for and some experience with molecular biology. No prior background in bioinformatics or computer science is required. All students should have a basic understanding of molecular biology, at least roughly corresponding to 5-10 university study points in molecular biology, biochemistry, or similar. If you are uncertain if your biology background is strong enough, please contact Jon (See contact details below) before you sign up for the course.

Course responsible is Dr. Jon K. Lærdahl (jonkl@medisin.uio.no) from the Department of Microbiology, Oslo University Hospital (OUH) - Rikshospitalet. Lærdahl is also employed by the CLS initiative at UiO and the Bioinformatics Core Facility (CF) at OUH and UiO.

The wiki for the 2013 version of the course is found here.
