Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field of science dealing with the storage, classification, analysis, and interpretation of biological data. In the subject Introduction to Applied Bioinformatics, students learn about possibilities of how to find and use bioinformatics databases and tools. This subject is focused mainly on practical usage and training of various web-based programs and software tools.
Topics include scientific literature search, protein and nucleotide sequences databases, sequences comparison and their feature analysis, restriction analysis, primer design, specialized databases, etc.
