Course description and aims
Through recent improvements in DNA sequencing technology, DNA base sequences and amino-acid sequences of proteins are increasing explosively, and bioinformatics, which handles this biological information has become an important field. In this course we will cover the basics and applications of bioinformatics from a life science and computational science viewpoint. The instructor will start by teaching the basics of molecular biology for students not in the biology field. The instructor will then go over microbial genome analysis, analysis of amino-acid sequences of proteins, proteinomics that uses computational science, plant science that uses bioinformatics, metagenome analysis, and DNA computers.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1. Understand the fundamentals of molecular biology
2. Explain the outline of bioinformatics
3. Acquire advanced knowledge of research fields using bioinformatics
Keywords
Bioinformatics, Molecular biology, Genome analysis, , Homology search, Stereostructure prediction, Molecular orbital calculation, Molecular mechanics calculation, Molecular dynamics simulation, Transcriptome, Coexpression analysis, Plant hormone, Metagenome, Synthetic biology, Constructive approach
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Each of 6 instructors provide one class, and elaborate on the selected topic using PowerPoint slides.
