Bioinformatic analysis of Transposable Elements

Transposable-element biology and evolution are connected with practical bioinformatic methods for identifying and analysing repetitive DNA. Participants examine how these mobile sequences influence genome structure, gene regulation and epigenetic states, and why their rapid evolution complicates computational annotation. The programme combines conceptual instruction with analysis exercises across the published five-day schedule. Teaching runs online from 14:00 to 19:00 Berlin time. The listed course package costs €480.
