Facilitate teachers to incorporate Bioinformatics
approaches in to their teaching activities in respective
disciplines.
Encourage teachers to apply Bioinformatics methods in
their research.
Course contents*
· Overview of Bioinformatics
· Introduction to biological databases
· Concepts in mining biological data
· Applications of Bioinformatics approaches for problem solving in life sciences
*This course will deal with sequence data and sequencebased
Bioinformatics approaches. It will be followed by a
sequel wherein structure-based Bioinformatics approaches
will be covered. Participants are encouraged to attend both
the courses
Accommodation: Limited accommodation on ‘first come first served’ basis is available in the university guesthouse. The charges towards accommodation are to be borne by the participants.
