Programa
1-Organizational structure of genomes; Methods for genome sequencing, genome analysis and annotation. 2-Evolution of genomes and molecular phylogeny. Comparative Genomics. Definition of orthologs and paralogs genes. 3-Analysis of the genome-wide gene expression by proteomics and transcriptomics approach. 4-Functional Genomics. Metabolomics, RNomics, metagenomics and other omics. 5-Applications of bioinformatics in genomics. Algorithms for sequence alignment: single and multiple alignments; motif-search algorithms: motif representation and search systems available on the web. 6-Biotechnological applications. Laboratorial practical classes: Use of bioinformatic tools to perform sequence alignments and sequence database searches (BLAST e Clustal), phylogenetic analysis and cladograms, motif search and prediction of gene function, prediction of protein structure, interpretation of biological significance of genome-scale data.
