Calendar Entry:
The goal of the course is for students to be grounded in basic bioinformatics concepts, algorithms, tools, and databases. Students will be leaving the course with hands-on bioinformatics analysis experience and empowered to conduct independent bioinformatics analyses. We will study: 1) algorithms, especially those for sequence alignment and assembly, which comprise the foundation of the rapid development of bioinformatics and DNA sequencing; 2) the leading bioinformatics tools for comparing and analyzing genomes starting from raw sequencing data; 3) the functions and organization of a few essential bioinformatics databases and learn how they support various types of bioinformatics analysis.
