About Programme
|
Biyoinformatik en genel manada biyo kelimesi ile canlılık, info ile bilgi ve matik ile ototmatikleşmeyi kapsayasal türemiş bir kelime kavramıdır. Bu kavramlar hep birlikte ele alındığında canlılığın her seviyesinden gelen verinin bilgi haline dönüştürülmesi ve bu dönüşümün matematik, fizik, kimya ve biyoloji gibi temel bilim disiplinleri marifeti ile yapılması durumu karşımıza çıkar; bu nedenle oldukça geniş çalışma alanına sahiptir. Özel olarak bakıldığında, Biyoinformatik, biyolojinin çeşitli dalları, ancak özellikle moleküler biyoloji ile bilgisayar teknolojisini ve bununla ilişkili veri işleme aygıtlarını bünyesinde barındıran bilimsel disiplin. Bilim dalı olarak özellikle bilgisayar bilimleri, matematik, biyoloji, fizik ve kimya ile biyoistatistik bilgisine ihtiyaç duyan multidisipliner bir dal olarak kaşımıza çıkar

History
|
The beginning of bioinformatics is difficult to pinpoint, but the approach developed by Pauling and Corey in 1951 to accurately predict the secondary structures of proteins can be considered the beginning of bioinformatics. Also important in the history of bioinformatics was Margaret Dayhoff, an American biologist, chemist and physicist who, for the first time, compiled an atlas of 65 proteins whose sequences had been predicted. In the modern sense, Dayhoff is therefore known as the founder of bioinformatics. She did this by pioneering the application of mathematical and computational techniques to the sequencing of proteins and nucleic acids, and by establishing the first publicly available database for research in this field. The historical birth of bioinformatics may not have resonated at first, but today it is recognized as a science that is needed in almost every field.

Assessment and Grading
|
Students take the midterm exam at least once in each semester for the credit courses they are enrolled in. The midterm exam can also be in the form of evaluation of homework/assignments, projects and quizzes prepared in accordance with the thesis writing guide of the Institute. In case of more than one midterm exam, their arithmetic average is taken as the basis for the midterm grade. The student must take the general exam of all courses that he/she has taken in a semester and has met the attendance requirement on the day and time determined and announced by the Graduate School. A grade of F2 is given to the student who does not take the exam. The final exam may also be in the form of evaluation of the term paper prepared in accordance with the thesis writing guide of the Institute. Criteria (such as midterm, project, homework and final) and their effect on the final grade are clearly stated in the course contents distributed at the beginning of the semester and/or published on the website. According to the student regulations and academic calendar, final exams are held on the dates, places and times determined and announced by the university. The final grade of the student is given by the course instructor according to the results of the midterm, project, homework and final exam. The success grade is obtained not only according to the general exam evaluation, but also by evaluating the student's semester studies and midterm exams together. The contribution rate of the semester studies and midterm exam results to the success grade is decided by the relevant Institute Board of Directors to be between 40% and 60%. The regulations regarding the evaluation and grading system can be found at http://oidb.karabuk.edu.tr/yonetmenlik/lisansustusinav.pdf. In order for a course to be considered successful, both the general exam grade and the success grade are expected to be at least 65 out of 100 at the graduate level. Seminar course, thesis and graduation project are evaluated as successful or unsuccessful. The grades of the general exams are entered into the student information system within the period specified in the academic calendar and the results are submitted to the Graduate School within fifteen days at the latest after the end of the general exams.
