IDSP 204 A & B - Practical Bioinformatics - A survey


A offered for 2 letter grade credits, B offered S/U

An overview of bioinformatics and computational biology in the context of biomedical research. This course will enable students to integrate bioinformatics into their research projects by providing an understanding of the computational resources, tools, interfaces, and databases that are useful to the non-bioinformatician. Basic skills such as sequence alignments, “omics” analysis, and pathway construction will be taught with relevance to cancer, microbiology, neuroscience, and biochemistry. Students will also be introduced to translational/medical bioinformatics, as well as the power of programming for mining databases. Programming skills are not required.

Offered: Fall semester
