О курсе
Participants need to solve bioinformatics problems using programming. The goal is to solve as many problems as possible.
If you are interested in Bioinformatics, enjoy solving complex problems, and have experience in the field of Computer Science, Molecular Biology, and Genomics, do not hesitate to join. You can join the Contest anytime before June 19!
You can check out the Contest scoreboard in real-time.
The Contest consists of two rounds:
- Qualification Round — from June 12, 11:59 AM UTC to June 19, 11:59 AM UTC. You can solve problems anytime during this week.

Join and compete for amazing prizes:
- 1st place – Whole Genome Sequencing
- 2nd and 3rd – Whole Exome Sequencing
- 4th and 5th – 23andMe or Genotek DNA Service
- 1st–30th – Honorable Bioinformatics T-Shirt
The problems will be available after the Contest end. However, you will not get points for solving them.
