The main objective of the course is to explore the application of bioinformatics to a wide range of biological processes or systems questions. The course will provide students with the understanding of the tools and principles of bioinformatics for the analysis of biological data and its application in research, both pure and applied, with an emphasis on biomedical research. Emphasis is given on genomics, including comparative genomics and metagenomics.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
