Course: Bioinformatics for functional metagenomics
NMBU Ås, NorwayBioinformatics for functional metagenomics NMBU, Ås More information and registration here. Microbial communities are renowned for the influences they exert in nature as well as industrial applications. They encompass an extraordinary level of species complexity that is invaluable to the overall function of the community. However, our understanding is severely restricted due to the inherent…Continue reading Course: Bioinformatics for functional metagenomics

Course: Large genetic studies in biobanks: from registries screening, to interpretation of GWAS and beyond
University of Oslo , NorwayIn order to have enough power, genetic studies need to be carried out at very large scales and usually require sample sizes larger than 10,000s. This poses biostatistic- and bioinformatic challenges at different levels. 'Large genetic studies in biobanks: from registries screening, to interpretation of GWAS and beyond' will cover challenges facing the use of…Continue reading Course: Large genetic studies in biobanks: from registries screening, to interpretation of GWAS and beyond

Course: ‘Statistical methods in relatedness and pedigree analysis’
University of Oslo , NorwayThis course introduces statistical methods in genetic relatedness and pedigree analysis, with applications in linkage analysis, relatedness inference and forensic genetics. More here
Course: ‘Sequence comparison and database search’
University of Bergen , NorwayThis course provides insight into methods for aligning biological sequences. Its goal is to present an overview of the basic concepts of sequence alignments and some of their applications with a strong emphasis on homology based multiple sequence alignment modelling, one of the most widely used method in biology.
