| １． |
Outline |
|
This class will provide an essential background and basic techniques on Information Technology for Biosciences.
This course introduces spreadsheet program (EXCEL), software for draw and edit chemical structures (Symyx Draw), molecular graphics visualisation (Raswin), database and/or web-tool analysis (PDB, NCBI,DDBJ,CLUSTALW).
Covered topics include software of life science, sequence, structure and function databases of DNA and protein molecules, advanced sequence, and structure alignment methods.
|
| ２． |
Objectives |
|
The aims of this course are to
1. obtain basic knowledge and techniques about experimental data processing and analysis.
2. be able to draw and edit chemical structures using software.
3. be able to use Raswin to aid in the analysis and visualization of molecular graphics.
4. be able to understand and explain basic bioinformatics.
At the end of the course, students are expected to write report/thesis/scientific paper and give an oral presentation.

| ３． |
Grading Policy |
|
This is a hands-on, project-oriented class.
Grading will be decided based on progress report,take-home examination, and practical test.
No final exams will be given.
|
| ４． |
Textbook and Reference |
|
A handout and resources will be provided throughout the course as needed.
|
| ５． |
Requirements (Assignments) |
|
Each class will require 0.5 hour of preparation.
Students should write the contents and key points from textbooks or website in their own notebook.
One hour of review and/or progress report/Take-home Exam are also required.
