In this course, you will see how it contributes to the interpretation of the genomes text. The different modules will bring you the knowledge to the understanding of biological entities and processes involved in genomics and jointly propose an introduction to algorithms on sequences of characters that, in this context, represent genetic information. This course will cover the code and operation by the cell’s genetic information, gene prediction, sequence comparison, reconstruction of phylogenetic trees. The basic algorithms involved in such practices will be presented.
This MOOC was created by Inria’s MoocLab, as part of the uTOP project ( http://utop.fr/ – http://utop.inria.fr/). uTOP is an IDEFI project that aims to create a demonstrator for increasing research visibility through out training.
A new session, in French, started on May 13, 2019. Register to the french version.
The english version of the MOOC “Bioinformatics: genomes and algorithms” is available in an archived mode (no animation, no attestation).
