Course Description
Master's Degree in Bioinformatics and Biostatistics
Objectives of the master’s course
Statistical
processing
Mastering the basic concepts of bioinformatics and applying the basic statistical techniques and those adapted to the context of computational statistical treatment.
Omics
techniques
Understanding the capabilities and limitations of omics techniques as well as the type of relevant biomedical information that can be obtained from them.
Data
processing
Learning the techniques for microarray data processing, both expression and SNPs, array-CCH and chip-on-chip; next generation sequencing applied to resequencing, RNA-Seq, ChIP-seq, structural variation, genome assembly and others.
Bioinformatics is booming in recent years due to the situation derived from SARS-Cov-2. This scientific discipline makes it possible to handle and interpret large amounts of data, including biological data. Through bioinformatics it is possible to extract maximum knowledge from data and apply it to the resolution of biological and biomedical problems. This has led to an increase in the demand for specialised professionals in this field.
