COURSE GOALS: The course goal is to introduce students to ways of computer identification of repeats and high-order repeats (HOR) and its structure for centromeric region of human genome in GenBank data and to give a preliminary insight into relevant actual theoretical literature.

LEARNING OUTCOMES AT THE LEVEL OF THE PROGRAMME:
1. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
1.3. demonstrate a thorough knowledge of the most important physics theories (logical and mathematical structure, experimental support, described physical phenomena)
1.4. describe the state of the art in - at least- one of the presently active physics specialities;
2. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
2.3. apply standard methods of mathematical physics, in particular mathematical analysis and linear algebra and corresponding numerical methods;
3. MAKING JUDGMENTS:
3.3. develop a personal sense of responsibility, given the free choice of elective/optional courses;
4. COMUNICATION SKILLS
4.2. present one's own research or literature search results to professional as well as to lay audiences
4.3. develop the written and oral English language communication skills that are essential for pursuing a career in physics;
5. LEARNING SKILLS:
5.1. search for and use physical and other technical literature, as well as any other sources of information relevant to research work and technical project development (good knowledge of technical English is required);
5.4. participate in projects which require advanced skills in modelling, analysis, numerical calculations and use of technologies;

LEARNING OUTCOMES SPECIFIC FOR THE COURSE
Upon completing the course, students will be able to:
* use and analyse GenBank database;
* do an automatic annotation of repetitive DNA using BLAST routine;
* partially identify High-order repeats (HORs) using RepeatMasker;
* describe the Key-string algorithm (KSA) and use it to completely identify HORs;
* describe the Global Repeat Map algorithm and use it to completely identify HORs;
* describe algorithms based on frequency analysis and to use them in genome base analysis.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
