Bioinformatics: DNA Sequencing Informatics II

The course DNA Sequencing Informatics II provides an excellent opportunity for you to sharpen you skills in best practices in bioinformatics while learning about the cutting-edge research conducted at Lund University. Problem-solving and creative development and documentation of scripts and analyses are integral parts of this course. The aim is to prepare you for solving novel bioinformatic challenges in future projects.

This hands-on course will provide you with additional experience in analyzing next-generation sequencing data, with a particular focus on downstream tailored analyses. Best practices including version control of written code, problem solving real-world bioinformatics projects and case studies prepare you for managing and completing complex bioinformatics projects in life science.

After completing the course, you are well-prepared for a project or a MSc thesis in Bioinformatics
