Introduction to bioinformatics and systems biology (2010/2011)

This page contains information relating to the lectures and practicals arranged by Graham Kemp as part of the "Introduction to bioinformatics and systems biology" part of the courses:

• "Introduction to bioinformatics, systems biology and biocomputing" (MVE311)
• "Cell biology, bioinformatics and systems biology, basic course" (UMF012)

There is an on-line list of students who have completed the practical work set by Graham Kemp (local access).

Protein Structure

• Lecture: Protein Structure 1
• Lecture: Protein Structure 2
• Practical: Molecular Graphics

Note: The "Structural Bioinformatics" course (TDA506) builds on the material introduced here, so it is important that students who intend taking that course later on should be familiar with the material covered in these lectures and practicals.

Sequence Alignment

• Lecture: Sequence Alignment
• Practical: Dynamic Programming

Study suggestions

The exam question(s) on these parts of the course will be based on material covered in the lectures and/or practicals. There is a web page for each of the lectures, listing the main topics covered in the lectures and giving links to supplementary material. I do not expect you to read all of the supplementary material in detail. However, I recommend that you look at these linked pages since they will refresh your memory of items featured in the lectures that are not mentioned, or mentioned only in outline, in the lecture handouts.
