A feature of the course is the use of existing software and data analysis software, which are available on-line. For biotechnology students, the course will cover algorithms for solving various biological problems, as well as several programming problems to help you implement these algorithms in R and Python. The course aims to train experts in the field of "computer biology", which is engaged in obtaining biologically meaningful results in the study of the content of databases. Also, the task of the course is to identify and search for substitutions in the DNA sequence, to determine the type of these sequences. A mandatory step is to build a phylogenetic tree and familiarize yourself with the programs that allow phylogenetic analysis for students.

BIOENERGETICS AND ECOLOGICAL BIOTECHNOLOGY
3 credits Bachelor鈥檚 level Autumn Term 2020/2021
About the course
The course is about the use of biotechnologies in ecology for environment protection and in alternative energetics. Methods of bioremediation after oil pollution, methods of biodegradation of xenobiotics, use of biosurfactants are described. Biotechnologies of waste water treatment and methods of bioremediation after the pollution of environment with heavy metals are elucidated. Ecological biotechnologies in agriculture for stimulation and protection of plants, improvement of soil fertility are elucidated. Biotechnological methods in development of alternative energetics, main substrates for bioenergetics, biochemical bases of synthesis of biofuel by microorganisms, structures of microbial fuel cells (bacterial battery) are described. Topics of the course are discussed in forms of seminars and journal clubs.
