Topics in Bioinformatics

Graduate

The purpose of this course is to present a representative sample of computational problems in molecular biology, bioinformatics, genomics and proteomics and efficient algorithms to solve them. Topics may include: molecular biology, sequence alignment, genomics database, protein structure protein interaction, phylogenetic analysis, RNA structure, gene regulation, functional genomics, microarrays. Students will be required to investigate selected problems/methods in computational biology and bioinformatics.
