Learning outcomes
Module: LABORATORIO DI BIOINFORMATICA II
-------
Knowledge of the basical bioinformatic tools for the analysis, interpretation and prediction of biological data in: genomics, proteomics, trascriptomics, structural and functional biology.
Module: BIOLOGIA MOLECOLARE
-------
Molecular Biology
The aim of this course is to provide a detailed description at the molecular level of the main issues regarding the mechanisms involved transmission, variation and expression of the information contained in the genome of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The main themes of the course will be a detailed description of the processes of gene transcription and translation and those related to DNA replication and mutagenesis.
Program
Module: LABORATORIO DI BIOINFORMATICA II
-------
Bioinformatic tools for the analysis of molecular evolution and phylogenesis: Molecular clock, substitution models, methods for the construction of phylogenetic trees.
Protein structural preditions: Comparative modeling, Fold recognition and ab initio methods.
Gene prediction
Functional annotation
Microarrays: databases and programs for the analysis of expression data.
Introduction to the energetic treatment of proteins: MD simulations, docking ligand-protein and protein-protein
Module: BIOLOGIA MOLECOLARE
