Course MCB 668. BIOINFORMATICS AND GENOMICS (4).

This course is divided into two 2-credit modules. First module teaches both the theory and practice of basic informatics techniques-including sequence alignment, sequence searching, and the evolution of protein families- and their applications at a genome-wide level (comparative genomics and functional genomics). Second module introduces the fundamental tools of bioinformatics (Linux, Perl) and bioinformatics algorithms necessary to process and analyze large datasets generated from high-throughput genomics experiments. The second module is structured in three sections: Programming Concepts (PC), Biological Applications (BA) and Biological Projects (BP). Programming Concepts lays the foundation for the later two sections. PC will teach students to work within a Linux operating system in a client/server environment. Students learn to create programs in Perl scripting language, which permeates modern bioinformatics applications. Relevant programming concepts are presented and code examples illustrated using biological data. BA builds on the PC foundation to provide "snapshots" of common bioinformatics methods. For example, formatting biological sequence data into standard file formats, parsing the output from common bioinformatics software, adding notations to biosequences, calculating common statistics associated with biosequences (i.e., reverse complementation of DNA sequence). BP uses the BA snapshots to develop more extensive projects. BP incorporates extensive coverage of theoretical and algorithmic concepts to explore a biological topic where dealing with the data in a computational and mathematical framework is essential. CROSSLISTED as MB 668.
