Integrative Methods in Bioinformatics

Catalog description

(same as CMP_SC 8150 ). With biology entering the Big Data era, scientists are overwhelmed with the amount and the diversity of the experimental, statistical, and omics data about the biological objects they study. As a result, the frontier bioinformatics and computational genomics methods have started to utilize a so-called integrative approach, where the computational and informatics methods are used to combine the high-throughput and low-throughput data. The main objective of this course is to teach students how to utilize bioinformatics and programming techniques for such multi-omics data integration. Graded on A-F basis only.
