"Learning outcomes\nBy the end of the course participants will know relevant databases for biological data (incl. genomic regions, protein domains, protein-protein interactions, gene expression data, Gene Ontology). The course will give an overview of the main bioinformatics methods that the attendee can later use in his/her research projects that involve the analysis of genetic information and/or design of novel genetic circuits. The course offers an alternative to the classical form of bioinformatics courses in terms of additional modules focused on genome engineering and rational design of chromosomes. It also introduces an innovative Synthetic Biology Open Language (SBOL): a community standard for communicating designs in synthetic biology.\nParticipants of the course will receive the following set of skills:\n1) In silico analysis of cellular processes: genetic information and its manifestations.\n2) Ability to apply bioinformatics methods for analysing gene regulation (incl. sequence alignment and analysis, primer design, gene expression analysis, CRISPR).\n3) Will know relevant databases for biological data (incl. genomic regions, protein domains, protein-protein interactions, gene expression data, Gene Ontology).\n4) Basic skills in in silico assembly of synthetic organisms in the Synthetic Biology Open Language (SBOL)- from hereditary material to metabolic pathways.\nBrief description of content\nThe course consists of three modules:\nI - Introductory bioinformatics module\n* In silico analysis of single genes and proteins - basic search algorithms (blast), retrieval options, file types, alignment options, phylogenetic tree building etc.\n* Design of primers for single genes - PCR primers, cDNA cloning primers\n* Analysis of genomic regions - enhancers, promoters, coding regions, intron-exon. structure, (alternative) splicing, overlapping genes (including miRNA genes)\n* Analysis of gene expression data (RNA seq, microarray, protein arrays, chip data).\n* Analysis of interactome and GO data.\n* Analysis of protein interaction networks." . .

"The international three-year bachelor's programme in Science and Technology has innovative content and comprises selected parts of all taught in the Faculty of Science and Technology. It provides a broad overview of natural and exact sciences and technologies.\n\nIn the first year, students study subjects which give good basic knowledge and prepare them to work with modern technologies and materials. Later it is possible to choose a suitable field of specialisation based on the acquired knowledge about different areas. Students can choose a combined specialisation in genetics and biotechnology, bioengineering and robotics, or chemistry and materials science. Learning outcomes\nThe student who has completed the curriculum:\n1) possesses a sufficient level of knowledge in mathematics and natural and exact sciences to continue professional studies on Master's level and work in professions that require basic knowledge in the field and simpler working skills;\n2) understand the general principles of the main areas of natural sciences, orientates in the basic principles of the fields of natural sciences and can describe these by basic concepts;\n3) knows the main research methods used in the field and understands the nature of scientific method;\n4) knows how to collect professional information by using relevant methods and tools, and interpret the information critically and creatively;\n5) is able to plan and complete professional assignments, choosing and implementing the suitable methods and technologies;\n6) is able to analyse the issues related to the field in oral and written form and participate in the respective discussions;\n7) is able to assess the theoretical and application value of knowledge and skills obtained during the completion of the curriculum from both the personal and social perspective, taking into account the scientific, social and ethical aspects;\n8) has acquired the necessary learning skills and needs for constant professional development and lifelong learning."@en . . . . .
