Learning outcomes

------------------------
MM: ELEMENTI DI BIOCHIMICA
------------------------

------------------------
MM: LABORATORIO DI BIOINFORMATICA I
------------------------
The course will provide the theoretical and practical basis to understand and employ algorithms and programs currently used in Bioinformatics. Major biological databases will be introduced with a special focus on genomic, proteomic and biochemical information. The students will also be introduced to the most modern fields of structural bioinformatics and systems biology.

Examination Methods

------------------------
MM: ELEMENTI DI BIOCHIMICA
------------------------

------------------------
MM: LABORATORIO DI BIOINFORMATICA I
------------------------
Written exam for both modules. The two marks will be averaged. Students can chose to prepare a presentation in groups of 3-4 students on a selected database, which will also contribute to the final mark. An oral examination can be chose in addition, in order to improve the final mark.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
