Bioinformatics

• Foundations of machine learning
• test theory methods of optimization
• algorithms utilised 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 catalogue at the university portal; WS and SS)

• one seminar in the field of computational biology (for a selection see the course catalogue 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, PD Uwe Schwartz, or Prof. Spang are accepted.

Module final exams can be taken by Prof. Rudack, Prof. Spang and Prof. Gronwald.

30 min oral examination (graded)

Examiner:

Prof. Till Rudack (Structural Bioinformatics)

Prof. Wolfram Gronwald (external link, opens in a new window) (NMR Spectroscopy)

Prof. Dr. Rainer Spang (external link, opens in a new window) (Statistical Bioinformatics)

Prof. Dr. Canzar (external link, opens in a new window) (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
