Bioinformatics 3 WS 12/13

Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Volkhard Helms

Tutors: Nadine Schaadt, Christian Spaniol, Ruslan Akulenko

Lecture: Monday, 2:15 pm – 4:00 pm and Friday, 1:15 pm – 3:00 pm, building E2 1, room 007
Tutorial: Monday, 12:00 pm – 14:00 pm, E2 1, room 007

Requirements: familiarity with contents of Bioinformatik I and II. The students will have to complete programming assignments with Python. This course can be taken as part of the Master program Bioinformatics.

Contents: the course will cover methodological aspects of integrated biology and systems biology:

  • protein-protein interaction networks (mathematical graphs, Bayesian networks)
  • analysis of protein complexes (density fitting, Fourier transformation)
  • transcriptional regulatory networks (Boolean networks) buy term papers including epigenetic processes and micro RNAs
  • dynamic simulation of cellular processes (differential equation solvers, stochastic simulations)
  • metabolic networks (linear algebra)

Condition for certification: There will be four 45-minutes tests on different parts of the lecture. An averaged score will be computed from the best three results of the four tests. This score will count 50% for the grade of certification (“Schein”). The other 50% are taken from the mark in the final exam (120 min) that will (mostly) cover the material of the assignments.

Condition for the participation in the final exam: (a) successful participation in 3 out of the 4 tests, (b) at least half of the points of the assignments. Solutions have to be returned at the beginning of the following Friday´s lecture.  In addition each student has to solve one of these problems on the blackboard.

Textbook: V. Helms, Principles of Computational Cell Biology, Wiley (2008)
