Bioinformatics Programming with R.

Catalog description

The objective of this course is to teach students bioinformatics programming techniques using R. The focus of this course will be on development of programs to perform commonly used bioinformatics techniques like pair-wise and multiple sequence alignments. Students will learn computational gene-finding and comparative genomic techniques. They will also learn to create phylogenetic trees and protein-protein interaction graphs. Students will also learn about Hidden Markov models. Prerequisites: BIO/ BL 3310 and BIO/ BL 3410 .
