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.
