Content

The basics of modelling biological data and integration of heterogeneous datasets
are conveyed and applied on concrete examples in this practical course.
Using the scripting language Python the data is parsed and consolidated in a
database. Biologically relevant, demonstrative analyses are performed on this
integrated data. Data integration, exploration, visualization, statistical tests
and machine learning are applied on a dataset of genomic, transcriptomic, metabolomic
and phenomic data from genetically equal samples.
Objectives

(1)The students learn how to parse and integrate heterogeneous biological data
into databases. (2) They learn how to perform statistical analyses on biological
data and to summarize and illustrate their results visually. (3) They learn how
to interpret the results of integrative analyses and report on these results in a
concise manner.
