Knowledge outcomes

• Theoretical knowledge of basic concepts of evolution and molecular epidemiology.

• Storing information: databases

• Public systems of sequence similarity database searching.

• Sequence alignment

• Phylogenetic trees

Skills

• To know the fundamental evolutionary concepts used in Public Health.

• To know how to use the most important public systems for data search.

• To know how to make alignments and phylogenetic trees of genomic sequences.

Competences

• To be able to use the bibliographic, methodological and technological resources to solve a scientific problem using bioinformatics.

Students’ learning will be promoted through the development of 4 Learning Units (LU), that include synchronous (tutorial sessions) and asynchronous activities (videos, support texts, tutorials and practical exercises):

- LU1 – Basic concepts of evolution and molecular epidemiology

- LU2 – Information storage: databases

- LU3 – Sequence alignment

LU4 – Phylogenetic trees
