Benefits for the participants - Plan more efficient experiments - Correctly interpret results - Communicate results in publications more effectively The course focus is on methodologies, not on particular software tools. After the course...

Bioinformatics tools

In a lot of my work in bioinformatics, I have been using hidden Markov models (HMMs). As a postdoc with David Haussler at UCSC we developed the so-called profile HMMs (refs). Since then I have applied HMMs to membrane proteins (refs) and gene...

Would you like to participate in an exciting interdisciplinary research project to discover the hidden chemistry of plants and its evolution using computational omics approaches? Do you enjoy collaboration and teamwork while being at the cutting...
