一、課程說明(Course Description)
“Throughout the foreseeable future, research in medicine, molecular biology,
and biotechnology will be
dominated by scientific advancements resulting form the Human Genome
Project. Knowledge of genomes
will elucidate disease patterns and promises improved and personalized
treatments. Food and drug
development will be revolutionized by the focused manipulated of genes and
biochemical process.”
– by Prof. Eberhard O. Voit.

本課程兼重學理與實作,藉由習題與範例,使學員能熟悉網路上各種生物資訊之取得及應用,並針
對各種常用生物資料
庫作概略性的介紹,包括 NCBI, Protein Data Bank (PDB)、 KEGG、ExPasy 等生物資料
庫。課程中將連線上網,實際
操作、演練各種輔助軟體 (Browser, viewer, molecular displayer...)。
部分內容需具有生科系本科生大二基礎,建議大三以上(含)修讀,學習效果較佳。

二、參考書籍(References)
1. Bioinformatics: a practical guide to the analysis of genes and proteins,
Third Edition
(http://as.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0471478784.html)
The reference is for Gene Module.

三、教學方式(Teaching Method)
在電腦教室上課,課堂講解示範與學生實地操做並行。

四、成績考核(Evaluation)
總成績算法 — Homework 40% / Midterm and final Exam. 40% / Projects/ 20%
Homework 遲交一天扣該次 homework 成績10%,遲交三天視同未交。
請勿遲到, 遲到兩次以曠課一次論,曠課一次扣總成績十分,曠課三次以不及格論。
