399672 Biology for methodological scientists (8 cr/op)
This course gives an introduction to basic concepts of microarrays, medical genetics and developmental biology. Particularly, the students will get familiar with biological problems that require computational methods to be solved. No previous experience about molecular biology is required. The course will be organized annually.
Each module can be taken separately. The requirements for passing a module are specific to each module.
