Foundations of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics - 585.788

This course provides students with a foundation in the basics of statistical and algorithmic approaches developed in computational biology and bioinformatics over the past 30 years, with emphasis on the need to extend these approaches to emerging problems in the field. Each week will consist of an in-person lecture and an in-person practical session where students will collaborate in groups on assigned work based on the lecture material. Lectures for this course will also be available for download/viewing. Group final projects are the capstone for this course.
