1. One of many views of the cell

2. One of many views of the DNA

4. This is what we are after…

5. The cell, more realistically

6. Two major cell types

8. The central dogma

10. Codons

11. This we will all skip…

12. Schematically

14. Back to bioinformatics

15. The DNA holds very much information. Most of the secrets of our DNA still are to be discovered. The omics revolution gives bioinformatics a fighting chance to be at the basis of the next discovery! The goals for this course are modest. We just want to deal (in silico, of course) with genes and their regulatory elements. Today, we will start gene-hunting. Next Monday you will learn to operate the tools of the trait (genome browsers). Epilogue
