For this semester, CS4330 will cover topics in genome sequencing and processing, such as read mapping, contig construction, scaffolding, and assembly polishing. The course focuses on algorithmic aspects, rather than on using specific software tools.
A rough outline of the course is:
Relevant computational techniques will be introduced as needed.
Assessment be based on 2-3 assignments (worth 30-40% of course grade), a project (20-30%), and the final exam (40-50%). The final exam will be open book.
