| This course is designed to expose the student to the majority of the fundamental knowledge and skills in bioinformatics. This includes the study of information technology and bioinformatics algorithms, theories and tools with a great emphasis on developing problem-solving skills. Topics in sequence analysis and database searching, gene prediction, and genome analysis will be covered extensively. The course combines formal lectures with hands-on computer laboratory exercises, in which students are required to work to solve a series of problems sets drawn from common scenarios in biological data acquisition, and lab workflow management. To be prepared for the CBS Certifications and the ability to establish methods for molecular structure analysis and simulation, such as geometry analysis, structure modeling, and molecular dynamics. Understand the design, implementation, and integration aspects of biological databases; Understand the scientific method: how experiments are designed and carried out to test hypotheses, and standards for reporting scientific research; Understand the foundations of molecular biology: how genomic information is transmitted and used in living cells. Work with computers: everything from the ability to learn to use new software quickly to the ability to work comfortably in a command-line (Unix) environment. |
