La bioinformatica è una disciplina scientifica emergente, il cui sviluppo è fondamentale per le biotecnologie del futuro. La ricerca in bioinformatica e’ rilevante per il territorio senese e toscano, in cui vi operano diverse grosse industrie biofarmaceutiche, che possiedono una unita’ bioinformatica. La ricerca in bioinformatica e’ in rapido sviluppo a livello internazionale.

The teaching material is the reference text book and the lesson slides that are available on the site: http://www.dii.unisi.it/~giorgi/teaching/hpca2/lezioni.htm

Suggestions for a better preparation: both in the written and oral exams (but also in the projects) the student is mainly required to show his/her detailed understanding of the topic, at least at the level shown by the teacher during the lesson. It's greatly appreciated the capacity of reasoning on the problem, rather then a mechanical (pedant) description of the topic.
In case of written exercise, we mainly look at the correctness of the solution (in terms of numbers) and a very short justification of the chosen way to carry out the exercise (lengthy general wording is completely unnecessary).
In case of oral question, the topic is typically one of the concepts illustrated during the lesson. Elements that are required are, for instance: the proof of the concept/theorem, precise schematic of the system, detailed behavior and functioning, reasons why this solution is used in the real-world.
