About the Practical Course
In the context of large-scale genome comparisons, the main objectives of this general purpose practical course are to strengthen capacities of students in Bioinformatics and data analyses skills by introducing reviews on advanced fundamental algorithms used in Bioinformatics and their applications in genome studies.
The course topics will include theoretical and practical aspects in: |
 |
| • Large-scale genome comparisons | |
| • Evolutionary analyses | |
| • Sequence and genome alignments | |
| • Orthologs prediction and classification | |
| • Genome data visualization & Next Generation Sequencing tools & analysis | |
Theoretical presentations will be followed by practical sessions, so that the same speaker will ensure links between theory and practice. |

Reviews on each suggested topic will include their corresponding research perspectives, aiming at helping young scientists to gain insights into ongoing research in this domain. Practical sessions in a Linux environment will involve Unix shell and Perl scripting. Students are assumed to be familiar with this environment |

Lecturers related to recent hot topics in Bioinformatics and Genome studies will be programmed. Similar previous course programmes can be found at this link: http://www.pasteur.fr/~tekaia/BGA_courses.html
Who can attend the course:
Twenty (20) full time places are available for the course. Selection will be subject to an evaluation process. Selection criteria include confirmed initial experience in Bioinformatics and Genome Analyses and familiarity with the Unix environment. No more than 15% from any country will be selected. Gender balance between selected students will be guaranteed as far as possible. |
