The online course, Introduction to Bioinformatics, from The University of Manchester, will begin again in March 2009. Like all our distance courses it is delivered in a Virtual Learning Environment, which allows us to extend the classroom into the web. We use a range of tools to support our online teaching activities. Each course, which is paced to suit those in full-time employment, runs over 16 teaching weeks. Teaching and learning are focussed around tutor-supported exercises. In this course, participants work together on the interpretation of their results, before receiving feedback from the course tutor. Participants who wish to be assessed for credits at Masters level should complete additional independent research for assessment. Week 1 Introduction to distance learning Bioinformatics as a knowledge-based discipline Weeks 2 and 3 Introduction to the sequence databases Quality, redundancy and annotation Sequence retrieval exercise and group discussion Weeks 4 and 5 Nucleic acid sequence analysis Weeks 6 and 7 Independent research and assessment Weeks 8 and 9 Sequence alignment and database search 1. use of BLAST and FASTA, choosing suitable options; 2. interpretation of the results. Weeks 10 and 11 Protein function prediction. Weeks 12 and 13 Protein structure prediction Practical exercise and group discussion Weeks 14 to 16 Independent research and work on the second assessment You will find information on all our courses, including fees and a link to the online application form, here : http://octette.cs.man.ac.uk/bioinformatics/index.html If you have any questions, or need advice on the module options, please contact Heather.Vincent@manchester.ac.uk
