An advanced introduction to computational molecular biology, using an
applied algorithms approach. The course
will survey established algorithmic methods, including
pairwise sequence alignment and dynamic programming,
multiple sequence alignment, fast database search
heuristics, hidden Markov models for molecular motifs,
phylogeny reconstruction and gene finding. We
will explore emerging computational problems
in genomics through special topics lectures and course
projects in 03-711/15-856.
Course numbers demystified.
Discussion topic: Defining genes in the genomics era.
