Content

The group project serves to deepen the knowledge in a specific area of bioinformatics
that have been introduced in either of the two lectures “Sequence Bioinformatics”
(BIO-4110) oder “Structure and Systems Bioinformatics” (BIO-
4120). Students work in small groups (4 students) and work on a project with
the thematic focus of either of the lectures. The project topics encompass algorithmic
problems, literature investigations, or application of tools to biological
data. The idea is to apply gained knowledge to real biological data/tasks. Student
have the opportunity to suggest a topic.
Objectives

Bioinformatics group project: The students
• gain insight into scientific work,
• learn how to independently pursue a research question,
• learn to independently identify and compile scientific literature for the research question to be worked on,
• are able to work in a team in a scientific international environment,
• deepen their problem-solving skills.
