This course introduces the essential concepts, computational algorithms, databases and data sources and high-throughput experimental methodologies that are the basis of modern bioinformatics and computational biology. BIOINF 527 consists of two lectures and one laboratory session per week. There will be a homework assignment each week, and there will be two take-home exams. The laboratories will utilize on-line and local computer tools and resources to demonstrate bioinformatics data analysis methods and algorithms. The laboratory will culminate in the presentation of group projects that will be developed over the term. [more]
