HANDS-ON ONLINE BIOINFORMATICS
INTRODUCTION
Bioinformatics is a fast growing field within the academia and industry. At AHRO, we intend developing the skills in bioinformatics through series of short courses and workshops to train researchers develop their own method of data analysis while enabling them choose the right tools in their specific research projects. This course runs for 12-weeks and entirely online
OUTCOMES
After the course, participants should be able to:
Able to exhibit knowledge on basic tools and techniques used in bioinformatics
Have complete hands-on-skills in the basic tools and techniques
Apply these techniques in their research activities
COURSE CONTENT
Module 1: Bioinformatics and Basic Programming
Module 2: Microarray Data Analysis
Module 3: Next Generation Sequencing
Module 4: Research project
COURSE ASSESMENT
Participants would be assessed during or at the end of each module via a number of methods. To complete and pass a module, participant must get 50% pass mark.
EVALUATION
The course will be assessed as follows:
ASSESSMENT | WEIGHT |
