Course Overview
Meeting Time: Tue/Thur 9:00 - 10:20 AM (H Hour)
Location: CIT 367
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 Moecular Biology, which will be available at the Brown Bookstore.
