Forschungspraktikum Computeranwendungen für Hochdurchsatz-Biologie

What it is about

You work in individual projects on large datasets from high-throughput biology (e.g. sequencing or expression data). In the end you will be able to process such datasets with appropriate tools and programming languages (R or Python), analyze them, assess them qualitatively, and place the results in the context of current literature.

What you will be able to do

• Handling high-dimensional, large datasets
• Data processing and quality filtering with R or Python
• Application of tailored analysis pipelines
• Use of public biological databases
• Carrying out sequencing and gene expression analyses
• Testing significance and interpretation of the results
• Independent work and presentation of scientific results in publication quality

What the module consists of

• ForschungspraktikumWork on individual projects with supervision; practical application of analyses to real datasets
• ComputerübungenLearning and writing scripts for data processing and analysis
• Diskussionen/BetreuungDiscussion of results and interpretation based on current literature
