Presentación

Bioinformatics and computational biology involve the use of techniques including applied mathematics, informatics, statistics, computer science, artificial intelligence, chemistry, and biochemistry to solve biological problems usually on the molecular level. Research in computational biology often overlaps with systems biology. Major research efforts in the field include sequence alignment, gene finding, genome assembly, protein structure alignment, protein structure prediction, prediction of gene expression and protein-protein interactions, and the modeling of evolution.

This new science is needed to manage and extract biological conclussions from high troughput experiments. A single of these experiments give several million data to manage. Bioinformatics methods provide means to dig in these data and find new biological discoveries.

In this subject we will have an overview of different techniques developed to treat these data. A brief introduction on biology will be given in the first weeks.
