About Course
Start your bioinformatics journey by learning how biological data can answer real research questions. Story of Bioinformatics connects essential concepts with practical tools, taking you from finding DNA and protein sequences to comparing them, interpreting their functions, and planning molecular experiments. Build a useful foundation for your graduation project, laboratory work, or first computational research study.
What You Will Learn
- Sequence analysis
Biological databases, BLAST, multiple sequence alignment, annotation, and conserved domains. - Evolutionary relationships
Phylogenetic analysis and interpreting similarities between sequences. - Experimental planning
Primer design, in silico PCR, siRNA, RNA interference, and CRISPR off-target assessment. - Expression and sequencing data
Microarray analysis and introductory NGS workflows.
Skills You Will Build
Learn to retrieve and compare sequences, choose suitable analysis tools, interpret biological results, and connect computational findings with experimental decisions through practical examples.
Practical Applications
Use these foundations to investigate gene and protein function, compare related organisms, plan PCR or gene-silencing experiments, and approach sequencing datasets with a clearer research strategy.
