Bioinformatics
Where biology meets big data. Challenge yourself with our bioinformatics quizzes. Test your understanding of sequence alignment (BLAST), phylogenetics, NGS data, and the crucial databases that power modern biological research.
Biological Databases & File Formats
A foundational quiz on NCBI, EBI, and Uniprot, as well as common formats like FASTA, FASTQ, SAM/BAM, and VCF.
Structural Bioinformatics & Protein Modeling
Covers PDB files, secondary structure prediction, homology modeling, and protein-ligand docking basics.
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) & Assembly
Explore the logic of De Bruijn graphs, read mapping, variant calling, and the differences between Illumina and Nanopore data.
Transcriptomics & RNA-Seq Analysis
Master the workflow of RNA-Seq: from normalization (TPM, FPKM) to differential gene expression analysis.
Machine Learning in Bioinformatics
Test your knowledge on Hidden Markov Models (HMMs), Support Vector Machines (SVMs), and Neural Networks in genomics.
Systems Biology & Network Analysis
Focuses on Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) networks, metabolic pathways, and network topology (degree, centrality).
Introduction to Sequence Alignment
Test your basic knowledge of pairwise alignment, dot plots, and the difference between global and local alignment.
Dynamic Programming: Needleman-Wunsch & Smith-Waterman
A deep dive into the mathematical algorithms behind optimal sequence alignment, scoring matrices, and gap penalties.
Heuristic Search: BLAST & FASTA
How do we search massive databases? Covers k-tuples, E-values, bit scores, and the different flavors of BLAST.
