BIOL 5810 - Bioinformatics Algorithms

3 hours

Introduction to computational problems inspired by the life sciences and overview of the algorithms behind the bioinformatics tools. Exposure to fundamental algorithmic concepts underlying sequence data in computational molecular biology. Formulate biological problems as computational problems and implement algorithms to solve these problems efficiently. Topics include methods to compute sequence alignments (dynamic programming algorithm), motif finding (randomized algorithms), DNA sequence assembly (graph algorithms), protein sequencing data analysis (brute force algorithms), and sequence data analysis (suffix trees and hidden Markov models).

Meets with BIOL 4810 and CSCE 4810. Same as CSCE 5810 and MATH 5810 .
