Computational Molecular Biology and Genomics Projects - Fall 03


Course projects may be a computational analysis of a biomolecular problem or data set or a survey of recent genomicsl research. genomics. The goal of course projects is to expose students to emerging problems in computational genomics - problems that are not covered in the lectures and have not yet made their way into text books. For computational projects, a second goal is to provide hands on experience in planning a research project, working with real data and collaborating in an interdisciplinary group with colleagues from diverse backgrounds. This is an opportunity to obtain experience carrying out exploratory research.

A written report and an oral presentation are required for both types of project. The project topics chosen by students in Fall 2003 are shown below.
