Course content
The discipline is a component of the cycle of professional training of specialists with the educational qualification degree "Bachelor" in the field of "Biology". The discipline is a basic
discipline that covers the issues of bioinformatics methods and their use in genetics.
The discipline is designed to generalize the student's understanding of modern bioinformatics methods
and is aimed at preparing students to perform modern bioinformatics research,
using advanced tools and technologies. The discipline will prepare students for a
successful career in the field of genetics and bioinformatics, providing them with the necessary knowledge and
practical skills for working with large volumes of biological data.
