Applied bioinformatics and biostatistics
| The advanced training in applied bioinformatics and biostatistics is the acquisition of skills in an interface science between biology and computer science. You will learn bioinformatics evaluation methods such as Sequence analysis, Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and the visualization of structures as well as the targeted use of (molecul ar) biological databases and the application of statistical methods with R / R Studio. Writing smaller evaluation scripts with the Python programming language is also part o f the
training and rounds off your profile with programming elements. |

| Introduction to programming and Python |
▪ Technical German and basic molecular biology ▪ Scripting language Shell (BASH) under LINUX ▪ Basics of programming (programming methodology, pseudocode, data structures) ▪ Python programming language, object-oriented programming ▪ Code documentation and version control (Git/GitHub) |
|
| Bioinformatics and bio databases |

|
| Applied bioinformatics |
▪ Sequence analysis, sequencing strategies (dot plots, alignments, BLAST, etc.) ▪ Structural bioinformatics, software for the visualization of structures ▪ Next generation sequencing data analysis |
|
| Applied biostatistics | ● Statistical evaluations with R / R-Studio
● Descriptive and multivariate statistics, statistics in bioinformatics ● Variance, principal component, cluster and discriminant analysis ● Workflows with R-Bioconducter ● Markov chain implementation in Python |
| Internship | ● Gathering practical experience in Green Biotec / collaborating Institute.
● Job application strategies and Coaching |
| Perspectives | An internee will be able to develop solutions for scientific problems together with experts from the natural
sciences, mathematics and computer science. An internship in a company or institute improves your professional prospects and employment opportunities. With the knowledge you have acquired from the Green Biotec, bioinformatics training course, you have a real knowledge advantage over applicants with the same training background. Both in a bioinformatics-biostastic field of activity as well as in a laboratory. |
