NBIC PhD Course - Comparative Genomics: from
evolution to function
On June 27 - July 1, 2011 the NBIC
PhD School organises the PhD Course ‘Comparative Genomics:
from evolution to
function’ in Utrecht.
Course Lecturers:
Berend Snel (coordinator),
Martijn Huynen, Jaap Heringa
Course Description
Comparative genomics between species and types of data is
pivotal for biology. The
first two days we move "beyond blast": supersensitive
homology
searches, domain level analysis of protein evolution and
interpretation of gene
trees (levels of orthology). Based on this, the three remaining days investigate: (1)
functional
and evolutionary consequence of (genome)duplications, (2)
the evolution of
interactions and complexes (3) the prediction and evolution
of genomic
regulatory elements.
Target
audience
The
course is intended for PhD and master students in
bioinformatics, especially
those interested in evolution or in comparing various
genomics data between
species.

This
course is part of the Education Programme of the
NBIC PhD School. The PhD School is an initiative of NBIC
together with a number
of universities to organize high level education and
training for PhD students
in bioinformatics.
