Together with the practical course “Bioinformatische Anwendungen in der Genomforschung” in the following summer semester, this lecture forms the master module Algorithms in Genome Research.
The exercises will not be corrected or graded, but presence and activity during the exercise hours is expected. Credit points will be given based on an oral exam at the end of the semester.

The page AlgGRLiterature contains many links to the original literature.
