EB 3420 - Bioinformatics I2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 3 credits
Bioinformatics is a practical discipline to organize and understand huge amount of biological information, encompassing the analysis of biological sequences and structures. This course introduces students to the fundamental foundation of bioinformatics and its ever-increasing power in solving various complex problems in other scientific arenas including medicine and drug development. Starting with the detailed structures and physico/chemical properties for the basic building blocks of nucleic acids and proteins, students will learn not only how to navigate the human genome as well as other completed genomes in search of given specific biological information, but also how to retrieve sequence and structure information out of the various specialized databases. In particular, students will learn computational algorithms and approaches as how to effectively and efficiently search against a wide variety of databases for homologs of a gene, RNA or protein sequence. (prereq: CS 2550 , EB 2910 )
