Comparative genomics between species and between types of data facilitates the understanding of what these data really reflect about the underlying processes. Comparative genomics therewith relies on a solid understanding of basic elements of Bioinformatics like homology and orthology. Moreover it is important to know the assumptions and heuristics of bioinformatic methods for comparative genomics and hence we aim to… Continue reading →

  The BioSB research school and partner LUMC are organizing a 3-day course on RNA-seq data analysis from September 26-28, 2016. This is an advanced course for people with experience in NGS. The course will consist of seminars and hands-on command line, Galaxy and R practicals and will cover the analysis pipelines for differential transcript expression and variant calling. Examples… Continue reading →

This is a one-day introduction to the possibilities of the statistical calculation environment R for those who would like to use it, or have already started using R for statistical data analysis but would like to obtain a bit more background. We will start with a lecture in which the philosophy behind the R-language will be explained. This will allow… Continue reading →

Constraint-based modelling is a powerful modelling methodology that is being used to model a diverse range of biological phenomena. These include both fundamental and applied questions relevant to biotechnology, microbiology and medicine. Central to constraint-based modelling is the use of a genome-scale reconstructions (GSR’s) that maps out the metabolism of a cell as a biochemical reaction network. In this course… Continue reading →

Date: May 23-27, 2016, Delft,  The Netherlands Target audience: The course is aimed at PhD students with a background in bioinformatics, computer science or a related field; a working knowledge of basic statistics and linear algebra is assumed. The BioSB course “Pattern recognition” and the ASCI course “Advanced pattern recognition” (a1) discuss many of the tools used in this course, but it is… Continue reading →

This is a one-day introduction to the possibilities of Matlab as a programming environment for simulation and analysis of biological models. We will start with a simple introduction of the basics of Matlab (matrices, vectors, manipulation of matrices and presentation of data). Having obtained some basic programming knowledge (writing of simple scripts and functions in Matlab), we will move on… Continue reading →
