Motivation:

Genomes, genetics, genomics, proteomics, microarrays, sequencing, protein structure, biological databases…why Bioinformatics? What is everything about? Where all these terms fit in? Under what fields can they be applied?
Scientific reports, magazines and journals, articles, abstracts, … would you like to be skilled enough to read, interpret and transfer the main information from a scientific paper within the field of Bioinformatics?

This and other related questions will be addressed in this special lecture.

To do so we will divide the lecture into two parts: The target audience for this lecture is, on the one hand those completely novel in the area of Bioinformatics but interested in getting to know about it for the first time, and on the other hand those who already know about Bioinformatics and would like to have a brainstorming and better understanding through the work on the scientific papers reading.
All of you are welcome.
