Course | The 11th editin of the Spring School of Bionformatics for Molecular Biologists it is organized by the Institute of Bioinformatics and Systems Biology of the Helmhotz Centre Munchen (IBIS) in collaboration with the European Genetics Foundation. To underline the importance of Systems Biology and Bioinformatics for the life sciences is to carry coals to Newcaste. However, these still young concepts have not yet adequately covered in the University curricula.Since the genome era uncovered the basic molecular information set of the cell, a wide variety of methods is based on genome information and increasingly delivers more and more complex experimental data. Biological information already dominates most of the experiments and the interpretation of the data gets more and more critical for the understanding of biological processes beyond the more data the more result relation. The “1000 genomes” and “1000 tumor genomes” projects are underway, large population studies relating geno- to phenotypes are already reality. In this year’s Spring School, the course is organized in three main sections, namely “Basics”, “Methods”, and “Systems Biology”. Experienced faculty members will introduce the basics in tutorials but also to discuss new developments in the interdisciplinary fields of Bioinformatics and Systems Biology. The concept of the course is tailored for Molecular Biologists and aims to support the important dialogue between the experimentalist interested in a specific biological problem and the theoretician eager to solve problems in a generic, reusable way. The alliance between the generation of biological data and methods of interpretation and modelling of biological systems will be pivotal for the future. The Course aims to allow for a head start by presenting basic concepts as well as recent applications. The intended audience is Ph.D. students and junior scientists. Its main subjects will be the integration of information, biological networks, and concepts in Systems Biology. |
