Course Overview

The Bioinformatics: Algorithms and Applications certification course is structured in such a way as to motivate learners with basic education and the development and, further on, to introduce them to the quality gap of the curriculum. The course will engage the students with the field of bioinformatics as a multidisciplinary area of research for the study and understanding of massive biological data using computational strategies. 

The goal of this course is to make progress on key elements of bioengineering, such as database creation, computational assumptions, algorithms, and computer-aided drug development. Throughout the Bioinformatics: Algorithms and Applications certification the focus will be on learning series one by one, In the first portion of the series, course will concentrate on Gene and protein genomic sequences and interpretation, structural properties, and three-dimensional analysis. 

The following part will be dedicated to activities such as protein structure prediction, folding rate, mutation stability, and intermolecular interactions. In addition, course will discuss computer-aided drug design using boarding and QSAR tests. The Bioinformatics: Algorithms and Applications training is intended to cultivate the skills and expertise needed for prospective students, budding biologists, and academic scholars to learn bioinformatics algorithms and resources.

Eligibility Criteria

Work experience 

In order to be eligible for a Bioinformatics: Algorithms and Applications by Swayam, the applicant did not even need any technical or non-professional work experience from a field perspective.

Education 

As such, there are no conditions set by the UGC to apply for bioinformatics: Algorithms and Applications certification but as an undergraduate/postgraduate course, certain basic and elementary studies in the field of biology and computer language would strengthen the understanding of the applicant.

Certification qualifying details 

Candidates can study the whole course free of charge but, in order to be considered for qualification criteria, the applicant must receive an overall score of 25 percent in the average of 8 assignments out of the total in internal tests and 75 percent of the combined marks in the credential test. The assessment of the bioinformatics: Algorithms and Applications training will be conducted on the basis of the final points of the internal and external assessments.
