Learning outcomes

Knowledge of the basical bioinformatic tools for the analysis, interpretation and prediction of biological data in: genomics, structural and functional biology.
This course offers the possibility of applying state of the art bioinformatic tools to solve biological problems.

The student at the end of the course shoul demonstrate to be capable of:
- Annotate genoms
- Modeling the structure of proteins
- Studying the interaction ligand-protein using docking techniques

Program

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, ligand-protein and protein-protein docking.

Reference Text: Testi di riferimento: Bioinformatica di di Stefano Pascarella, Alessandro Paiardini - Zanichelli
The teaching includes: front lectures and hands-on excersices on the PC. The students are also involved in a project to be developed in groups.

Examination Methods

The written exam is divided in two: a session of open questions regarding the theoretical arguments of the course: modelling, docking and gene annotation. (writen examination: till 15/30 points)
The second phase consists in the preparation of a scientific-like article presenting the results obtained during the project development. (Project: till 15/30 points)

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