Course Objectives
Upon completion of the course, students should have a knowledge about
- basic biological and biochemical process which they face with in the analyses of biological/biochemical high dimensional datasets,
- fundamental statistical methods in hypothesis testing and inference methods used in various modelling approaches,
- detailed knowledge about the analysis of microarray data and related statistical approaches,
- different statistical methods performed in the analyses of various networks and their elements,
- visualization tools and relevant databases for biological networks, microarrays and sequence alignments.
Students will also have gained practical experience on these matters through term project and presentation.
