IVLE

Lecture is held every Thursday @ 9am in SR@LT19
Tutorial is integrated into the lecture
Main references: The Practical Bioinformatician (by Wong, WSPC) and Algorithms in Bioinformatics: A Practical Introduction (by Sung, CRC).
The goals of CS2220 (Introduction to Computational Biology) are: (1) development of flexible and logical problem solving skills; (2) understanding of main bioinformatics problems; and (3) appreciation of main techniques and approaches to bioinformatics. To achieve the goals above, we expose the students to a series of case studies spanning gene feature recognition, gene expression and proteomic analysis, gene finding, sequence homology interpretation, phylogeny analysis, physical mapping, and genome sequencing
