Learning outcomes

At the end of the course, a successful student will be able to choose and apply different regression methods or non-parametric methods according to their data and will be able to predict the function and taxonomic source of a given protein from sequence and structure analyses.

Goals

Acquire a tool box for advanced data analyses in statistics and introduce them to the basics bioinformatics analyses (sequence alignment, protein structure prediction, data clustering).

Content

The course comprises two main modules: statistics and bioinformatics.
Statistics:
1. ANOVA 1 and 2
2. Non-parametric tests
3. Multiple linear regression
4. ANCOVA
5. Linear mixed models
Bioinformatics
6. Sequence alignment
7. Protein structure prediction
8. Data clustering.
