Module Number: 14441
Module Title:Bioinformatics Laboratory
  Praktikum Bioinformatik
Department: Faculty GW - Faculty of Health Sciences Brandenburg
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Schliep, Alexander
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: On special announcement
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:After successfully completing the module, students will have acquired practical skills in developing and implementing artificial intelligence and algorithmic approaches to solving bioinformatics problems, in particular:
  • In-depth understanding of the state-of-the-art in methods of bioinformatics,
  • Ability to carry out projects (project planning, time management, communication, development tools etc.),
  • Ability to apply this knowledge and implement the relevant mechanisms,
  • Ability to collaborate with other developers.
Contents:The laboratory is implemented as one or several study projects. For each project in artificial intelligence and algorithmic approaches to bioinformatics the following work steps have to be accomplished:
  • Getting acquainted with the state of the art
  • Project planning
  • Selecting the models and mechanisms to be used
  • Implementation of a prototype
  • Testing and evaluating the prototype
  • Documentation
The course will explicitly discuss ethical and social considerations of machine learning if human data is used.
Recommended Prerequisites:
  • Knowledge of the content of the module 14336 Introduction to Bioinformatics
  • Knowledge of Python
  • basic knowledge of machine learning methods
  • good knowledge of discrete probability theory
Mandatory Prerequisites:
Forms of Teaching and Proportion:
  • Laboratory training / 2 Hours per Week per Semester
  • Study project / 90 Hours
  • Self organised studies / 60 Hours
Teaching Materials and Literature:Depending on the projects, the relevant literature or material will be shared in the first session of the semester.
Module Examination:Continuous Assessment (MCA)
Assessment Mode for Module Examination:
  • Executable and tested prototype (50% of total marks)
  • Complete documentation, 10-20 pages (20% of total marks)
  • Successful intermediate presentation of results, 10 min (10% of total marks)
  • Successful final presentation of results, 20 min (20% of total marks)
A student passed the module, if he/she achieves 75% of the total.
Evaluation of Module Examination:Study Performance – ungraded
