Computational Biology
Prerequisites: (COMP 231 or COMP 271) and COMP 381 (Equivalencies: BIOI/BIOL 388).
This course presents an algorithmic focus to problems in computational biology. It is built on earlier courses on algorithms and bioinformatics. Problems and solutions covered in this course include gene hunting, sequence comparison, multiple alignment, gene prediction, trees and sequences, databases, and rapid sequence analysis.
Outcomes: Students will learn, in detail, foundational methods and algorithms in bioinformatics.
