Syllabus

Immunology is a field of biology studying defensive mechanisms of living organisms. Emergence of sequencing data has revolutionized the field of modern biology and especially immunology. One of the results of this revolution is an ability to scan adaptive immune repertoires presenting one of unique individual features of the organism.

This course is an attempt to summarize the results of immunosequencing studies published during past ten years. In this course, we will study biological basics of immunology and immunogenomics, formulate main computational problems arising in the field, and discuss state-of-the-art algorithms for their solution. Students will complete a number of homework assignments involving analysis of real sequencing data and interpretation of the results.

Prerequisites to the course:

• Python or any other programming language
• Confident work with command line
• Basic knowledge of algorithms
• Basic knowledge of English

The detailed syllabus: Russian / English TBA. Slides are in English, videos are in Russian.
