DESCRIPTION:

 

Bioinformatics and DNA microarrays analysis constitute, a paradigm among post-genomic technologies, which are characterised for producing large amounts of data, whose analysis and interpretation is not trivial. Microarray technologies allows querying living systems in a completely new way, but at the same time present new challenges in the way hypotheses must be tested and results have to be analysed.

 

This course covers the state-of-the-art in the above mentioned topics, which are of major relevance in today's gene expression data analysis. Through sessions of theory and practical examples, the students will acquire the experience necessary to address scientific questions to gene expression array datasets and solve them

 

OBJECTIVES:

 

1.to provide hands-on training for young Latin American researchers on some of the recently developed techniques for the study of functional genomics

2.To acquaint the course participants with recent developments, experimental models and techniques being employed in genomics and bioinformatics

 

DIRECTED TO:

 

The 16th International course Alexander Hollaender, has been programmed for two days. It’s a theoretical and practical course focused on microarray data analysis oriented to, 20 Students for the practical part (10 from Chile and 10 from other Latin American Countries) and open for the theoretical sessions. The course is designed for doctoral or post-doctoral trainees that already have some training in molecular biology and that need to apply techniques of genomics and bioinformatics to their specific research topics. Applicants should have a working knowledge of English as well as familiarity with the use of web-based tools and knowledge of basics notions of statistics

 

GENERAL TOPICS:

 

Bioinformatic Data mining of genomics

The possibilities and limitations of the micro array technology

Genomics of Bacteria – Gene Annotations

Use of genomic analysis in Human Epidemiologial studies

 

 

VENUE:

The course is being programmed as a satellite course at the ALAMCTA meeting in 2010 in Viña del Mar.
