ISAT 551. Bioinformatics

3.00
The amount of DNA sequence data being collected today is increasing rapidly. The student will learn, through lectures and hands-on laboratory exercises, a compendium of algorithms that can search for sequence similarities, create alignments for finding consensus sequences, model three-dimensional structures and more. Prerequisites: ISAT 340, ISAT 351 and ISAT 454 (or their equivalents), or permission of the instructor (requires knowledge of molecular biology and database technology).
