Large-scale genomics
Course description
The number of genomes that becomes fully sequenced is growing very rapidly. This development provides molecular ecologists and evolutionary biologists with a large amount of novel data. Such data can for example be used for comparing gene content and gene structure of organisms with different evolutionary history and adaptations, and for developing novel genetic markers to be used in phylogenetic reconstructions, QTL mapping and population studies. The course will provide an introduction to the tools that are used for analyzing genome sequences.
Course organization
The course will be run for 5 days during one week. During the first day,
the students will present the relevance and needs for analyzing genome
sequences in their PhD project. The exercises must be completed to pass the
course. The course will cover algorithms and programs for predicting
protein coding sequences, large-scale functional annotations of protein
coding genes using local databases and freely available software tools
like Gene ontology and Pfam, and an overview of data storage and
analysis of genomics data for comparative genomics.
