Computation for Bioinformatics

3 credits · Undergraduate Programs

A focus on current computational and statistical methods in bioinformatics. Topics will shift as computational and statistical methods in bioinformatics shift. The underlying philosophy of how to use computational and statistical techniques to solve biological questions will be elaborated using hands-on examples and inquiry-based projects. The course will build basic skills for both upstream computational processing and downstream statistical characterization. Prerequisite(s): Medical Science 301 or 401: and Statistics 321.
