This course provides the students with a broad overview of bioinformatics (tools). We want the students to get acquainted with our groups and research, but also to get some basic understanding of the bioinformatics concepts that we employ. The course should be data centric. Where does it come from, and what can we learn from it when we use the proper bioinformatic tools. After this course, the student should be able to better appreciate the bioinformatics used in articles, and also better understand its role in that research. Finally, the student should be able to select proper methods for his/her own (future) research (project) and at least be able to better communicate with the bioinformaticians in that field.
