Announcements
  • The first day of class is Thursday, September 10th.
Course Overview

Meeting Time: Tues/Thur 1:00 – 2:20 PM
Location: CIT 345

Processing molecular biology data (DNA, RNA, proteins) has become central to biological research and a challenging area for Computer Science research. Important objectives are molecular sequence analysis, recognition of genes and regulatory elements, molecular evolution, protein structure, comparative genomics. This course models the underlying biology in the terms of Computer Science and presents the most significant algorithms of molecular computational biology.

The course text this semester is Introduction to Computational Molecular Biology, which is available at the Brown Bookstore.
