BIOINFORMATICS TRAINING

Bioinformatics Room (468)

The CRG Bioinformatics training will consists of 5 courses spread from February to May 2018 to give a basic knowledge on bioinformatics. These courses are not completely linked therefore you can register to those that you need the most. However, please double check the requisites for each course.

CRG Bioinformatics Training

Courses

Basic Bioinformatic Course

Description

This course will allow any CRG student to perform basic bioinformatics and use the most common tools for their projects. Each topic includes 1-4 short assignments (15’ videos or short readings) that the students must undertake during the week before the actual session (of 1h) on Fridays. During the interactive session, the teachers answers questions and explains the next topic.
