Overview
In Research methods in bioinformatics and big data you will apply the knowledge and analytical skills learnt in BIN3800 to carry out an in depth computational analyses of existing genomics, transcriptomics or proteomics datasets. This will be an entirely dry lab unit and computer resources at the Genomics facility and its associated bioinformatics and big data laboratory and the Monash Malaysia Advanced Computing Platform will be made available to you in your data analyses. This unit will provide you an opportunity to apply your bioinformatics knowledge to access and analyse large datasets and develop project management skills and confidence in analysis of big data and subsequently improve chances of your employability by academia, or industry.
