Class 7 - Bioinformatics

Synopsys

This week we’ll focus on bioinformatics and the centrifuge.

We’ll also try to isolate our first biomaterial using centrifugation.

Schedule

• Bioinformatics - PDF - VIDEO 1 - VIDEO 2
• Centrifuge design - PDF - VIDEO
• Practicals
  • Peer 2 Peer reviewing:

    Give constructive Feedback on the personal project of at least 5 fellow BHA participants, based on their Midterm Presentation, as well as documentation sites. Slides. Reviewing takes place on the Forum

  • Chloroplast isolation
