Content

In this module we discuss advanced topic in the area of bioinformatics.

Information: In the summer term, the seminar "Statistical Population Genomics" (Instructor: Baumdicker) will be offered.
Objectives

Students get to know about advanced topics in bioinformatics theory and applications.
They can judge for example whether an algorithm is well designed, both
from an algorithmic and statistical point of view. They understand about the
fundamental limitations of the presented approached. They can reflect current
research questions. Students will be able to acquire knowledge about current
findings through comprehensive literature search. They will know the importance
of current topics in the area of bioinformatics, and will be aware that
there are still many open questions. Students will not only have improved their
study and reading skills, but will also have enhanced their capability of working
independently. The teaching method in this seminar aims at boosting the students’
confidence (oral presentation), and at enhancing their communication
skills and enabling them to accept criticism (discussion session following their
presentation.
