In order to perform successful work in modern life sciences, knowledge is required about how to work with biological databases and bioinformatics online tools. In practical examples students will learn how to use public sequence databases as well as software for sequence analysis and interpretation. Students will get introduced to challenges of working with DNA and protein sequences. Apart from using online tools (e.g. blast, genome browsers) the students will gain first experiences in working from the Linux command line.
