By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Examine and extract information from online bioinformatics resources, including major biomolecular and genomic databases, search and analysis tools, genome browsers, and structure viewers.
• Select the appropriate bioinformatics tools and resources for quality control and analysis to solve complex problems in the biological sciences and medical research.
• Develop bioinformatics pipelines that collect, analyze and provide insightful visualizations for helping in the interpretation of the results obtained using publicly available sequencing data.
• Recognize the research objectives of the bioinformatics-related sub-disciplines of Genome informatics, Transcriptomics, and Structural informatics.

In short, students will develop a solid foundational knowledge of bioinformatics and be able to evaluate new biomolecular and genomic information using state-of-the-art bioinformatic tools and resources.
