Web courses can be started as soon as you are at least half way through the courses Introduction to Biochemistry and Introduction to Molecular Biology. The web courses are as follows, and should be taken in this order:
BIOI2080 Introduction to Bioinformatics 4 ECTS
- Final project work must be submitted before the course Phylogenetics begins
BIOI4211 Genomics, Transcriptomics and Proteomics 4 ECTS
- Must be completed before the course Expression Data Analysis
BIOI4240 Structural Bioinformatics 4 ECTS
Registration to web courses: http://bioinf.uta.fi/courses/
For second year students
Web courses, if still missing, are highly recommended ASAP. Keep in mind that Genomics, Transcriptomics and Proteomics is required for the Expression Data Analysis course. Optional studies are in italics.
