Bioinformatics for Systems Biology, October 2009 Options

The distance course, Bioinformatics for Systems Biology, from The University of Manchester, will begin again on 5 October 2009. Designed to provide professional development for those in full-time employment, the course runs over 16 teaching weeks.
Teaching and learning are focussed around tutor-supported individual and group exercises. In this course, participants discuss a tutorial problem for each section of the course, and then submit solutions for feedback from the course tutor.
Week 1 Introduction to the course Installation of software for network analysis
Weeks 2 and 3 Molecular networks in biology Group discussion of models and modelling
Weeks 4 and 5 Standards for Systems Biology Data sources and standards for network biology Practical exploration of a molecular network
Weeks 6 and 7 Network properties Practical exercise on network statistics
Weeks 8 and 9 Mapping microarray data to a network
Weeks 10 and 11 Independent work on network analysis
Weeks 12 and 13 Dynamic models Further work on modelling formalisms Practical exercise on a metabolic model
Weeks 14 to 16 Independent research for the second assessment
