Bioinformatics

Catalog description

Introduces bioinformatics using computational methods to analyze and help interpret the content of large volumes of biological data generated by genome sequencing, DNA micro-arrays, proteomics, metabolites and metabolic fluxes. The computational methods used in this course include analysis of sequences, gene clustering, and pattern recognition/discovery in large scale expression data. Application of bioinformatics to drug design, and biotechnology will be discussed.
