The course was ministered by Filipe Pereira Matteoli, PhD of the State University of Norte Fluminense Darcy Ribeiro (UENF), where he studied bioinformatics and genomics of microorganisms, with emphasis on comparative genomics and assembly of genomes.
The content of the course covered the fundamentals of bioinformatics, analysis and comparison of sequences, to more complex issues, such as assembly of genomes and metagenomics analyzes.
