The exam will be articulated into three parts: 1) a practical session in which the student must describe a project of data analysis, that must be submitted at least two days before the date of the exam, 2) a quiz session on Moodle, that will take place at the beginning of the exam day, 3) an oral discussion in which the student must describe his/her project and answer questions on the topics of the course. A continuous process of assessment will be carried out throughout the course, to verify the level of understanding of the students.

Programma
The lessons are divided in three main parts.
The first part is an extensive introduction on Biology presented as a scientific field centered on Information. The mechanisms that facilitate the transmission and evolution of biological information is used to introduce some biological problems that require computational approaches and bioinformatics tools.
The second part of the course describes the main algorithms used for the alignment of biological sequences, including those designed for “next generation sequencing”. The algorithms used for de novo genomic assembly are also described.
Finally, the third part of the course covers several aspects of bioinformatics related to functional genomics, such as the analysis of transcription, gene prediction and annotation, the search of patterns and motifs and the prediction of protein structures. The role of Bioinformatics in individual genomic analysis and personalized medicine is also discussed.
