and seminar-like form of teaching.

LERNZIELE

Discipline-specific competences:
After the successful completion of this module:
∙ the students have become familiar with basic knowledge of protein biochemistry,
∙ they are able to explain the principles of mass spectrometry as the key technology of
proteomics,
∙ they are able to explain the current methods of bioinformatics for proteomics that are
used for the analysis of raw data (i.e., mass spectra) in order to identify and quantify
peptides or proteins, respectively,
∙ they understand the underlying algorithmic and statistical concepts of these methods,
∙ they are able to use proteomics-specific software and the workflow engine KNIME,
∙ they are able to design and program own solution strategies
∙ and they are able to apply the discussed software tools and methods to real data and
problems.

Interdisciplinary/generic competences:
∙ instrumental competences:
– Intensive usage of the learning platform Moodle
∙ systemic competences:
– Independent learning and working
– Teamwork and ability to work in a team
∙ communicative competences:
– Presentation of own work and results
– Communication of bioinformatics-specific technical terms
– Rhetoric and linguistic competence (English)
