Distance course in network biology

[Heather Vincent]

The University of Manchester's distance learning course, 'Bioinformatics
for Systems Biology' will begin again in October 2012.

http://octette.cs.man.ac.uk/bioinformatics/modules/systemsbiology.html

The course can be taken as a single unit, or the credits earned could
count towards the distance Masters in Digital Biology.

Bioinformatics for Systems Biology covers:

* the use of models in biology;
* structure and use of public pathway and interaction databases;
* reconstruction of biological networks from experimental data;
* network statistics;
* interpretation of experimental data in the network context;
* advanced topics.

The final section will prepare participants for our advanced course in
'Computational Systems Biology'
(http://octette.cs.man.ac.uk/bioinformatics/modules/COMP70560.html).
