1 Background: Biological sequences
- DNA, RNA, protein
- central dogma of molecular biology
- = transfer of sequence information from DNA (mastercopy) to RNA (blueprint) to protein (construct)
- introduce terminology: transcription and translation
- universal code of life (from tiny micro-organisms to large mammals)
- introduce the concepts of reading frames and reverse compliment
- evolution and tree of life
- discuss how organisms are related (evolution) and how this relations can be represented (tree of life)
Reading material:
Chapter 1 from Zvelebil and Baum's Understanding bioinformatics
