Learning objectives:

  • You will learn how to transfer the theoretical skills that you have learned in Data Mining, Neural Networks and Algorithmics courses to practical data analysis problems, with a particular focus on biology.
  • You will know how to assess the quality of data via exploratory analysis (clustering, PCA) and know how to detect and when to remove outlier samples.
  • You will understand the basic concepts of information flow in biological systems (genetic variant -> TF binding -> gene expression -> protein expression -> cellular phenotypes/imaging -> organismal phenotypes ) and what are the main biological and computational approaches to analyse it.

Grading and requirements:

The grade is calculated from the total number of points (max 100). The points can be earned as follows:

  • Homeworks (50 points): there will be 10 homeworks, each worth 5 points;
  • Group project and presentation at the poster session (20 points);
  • Written exam (30 points);
  • Additional points can be earned from bonus tasks within homeworks;
  • Attending at least 8 out of 11 practice sessions is compulsory: after missing 3 practice sessions each additional missed practice session results in losing 5 points.

In order to pass the course the student must get at least 50% from homeworks (threshold 25 points), at least 50% from the project (threshold 10 points) and at least 50% from the exam (threshold 15 points).
