Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student acquires expertise on the selection and/or development and application of tools useful to address important problems of Bioinformatics and to verify the capability in handling autonomously a research project. The student will be acquainted with: - analyzing a research project where the bioinformatic approach is required; - developing the project workflow with all the necessary steps; - evaluating all the possible risks of failure and success probability; - applying of selected bioinformatics tools for the project outcomes; - developing the required software if necessary; - analyzing the results in terms of their exportability to a wet lab; - drawing conclusions in terms of benefits vs. putative costs.
Course contents
