    The principle objectives of the course are to familiarize young scientists(Biologists/Computer Scientists/Mathematicians) with bioinformatics and genome data analysis skills and to encourage multi-disciplinarity by introducing:
    1- advanced fundamental algorithms in bioinformatics,
    2- their application in genome analyses,
    3- and recent knowledge acquired from genomes studies.

    The course is aimed for motivated Ph.D. and Post-doctoral students, as well as young assistant professors and junior scientists in Public Institutions from developing countries, who are interested in Bioinformatics and Genome Analysis. Twenty (20) full time places are available for the course. Acceptance will be subject to an evaluation process and preference will be given to research scientists from the International Network of Institute Pasteur Institutions.

    Duration: Full time from June 30 to July 12, 2008.
