Bioinformatics

• Foundations of machine learning
• test theory methods of optimization
• algorithms utilized in computational biology
• modelling biological objects
• analysis of large data sets
• Presentation and discussion of a research based topic from computational biology

• at least two lectures in the field of computational biology (for a selection see the course catalog at the university portal; WS and SS)

• one seminar in the field of computational biology (for a selection see the course catalog at the university portal; WS and SS). In the seminar a seminar presentation has to be held and registered in Flexnow as an ungraded study achievement (Studienleistung).

Note! If you are not sure what lectures and seminar to select, please contact the person in charge of the module.
The selection may depend on the examiner you choose for the module examination.

For the Theoretical module, bioinformatics lectures and internships from the groups of Prof. Rudack, Prof. Spang, Prof. Gronwald and Prof. Canzar are accepted (see below).

30 min oral examination (graded)

Examiner:

Prof. Till Rudack (Structural Bioinformatics)

Prof. Wolfram Gronwald (externer Link, ?ffnet neues Fenster) (NMR Spectroscopy)

Prof. Dr. Rainer Spang (externer Link, ?ffnet neues Fenster) (Statistical Bioinformatics)

Prof. Dr. Canzar (externer Link, ?ffnet neues Fenster) (Algorithmic Bioinformatics)

.

The student can choose the examiner.

Please get in contact with the examiner to arrange a date of the oral examination, than register the examination in flexnow.

• sequence comparison
• computation of phylogenetic trees
• 2D prediction
• homology modelling
• protein design
• visualization of protein 3D structures
