Computational Biology: Machine Learning Fundamentals

Enrollment Requirements: Undergraduate Prerequisite: (CASCS 111 or ENGEK 122 or ENGEK 125) and ENGBE 209 and ENGEK 381; Graduate Prerequisite: Graduate Standing In this course we cover the algorithmic and machine learning foundations of computational biology, combining theory with practice. We study the principles of algorithm design and foundational methods in machine learning. We provide an introduction to important problems in computational biology, and we provide hands on experience analyzing large-scale biological data sets.
