Objectives
We can motivate why we included this course unit in the study program.
This course is part of the elective course units. These are intended to lead to the completion of the personal learning process. The course is included in the study program because the use of bioinformatics in genetic, molecular biological and biotechnological laboratory research has become increasingly important. The course is addressed as an elective course because these techniques are not used in all laboratories, This course needs an extensive background knowledge, therefore, it is offered at a later stage in the curriculum.
