Biological Sequence Analysis

Overview: Biological Sequence Analysis (course #27803) is an intensive, two-week Ph.D.-course that covers various aspects of bioinformatics and systems biology. The course is arranged by the Center for Biological Sequence Analysis at DTU Systems Biology. The topics that are covered vary from year to year, and reflect the current research profile of the teaching group. Please check the course program for up-to-date details.

Onsite and online versions: The course is offered in an on-site version as well as an internet transmitted (online) version. Students on the online version of the course follow the same lectures as those on-site, via live, real-time transmitted lectures. Both onsite and online students are expected to attend all lectures for the two-week period, and to participate in computer exercises, where the students will be introduced to a range of computational methods used in the field. It will be possible for the online students to communicate and ask questions during the lectures and exercises via chat.

Practical information: The next course will be in the fall of 2012 (the exact time will be announced here). Only PhD students will be considered for admission. To apply for the course, please sign up through the online application form which will open a few months prior to course start, and which will be linked from this page.

For more information: Please contact Anders Gorm Pedersen (Professor, course responsible) or Dorthe Kjærsgaard (Center and Course Administrator).

The PhD course in Biological Sequence Analysis is supported by the FOBI research school for biotechnology
