Genomics and Informatics
The main ideas of the class are to (1) learn how genome-scale and other large biological datasets are produced, analyzed, and used to generate new discoveries in biology, (2) learn computational tools based on Python scripting language, and (3) apply these tools to practical problems in several areas of biological research, including comparative genomics, computer vision, gene expression analysis, genome-wide association studies, and text mining.
Computer programming experience is not required, but hopefully by the end of this class, students will have learned enough so that they can apply computational tools to their own research, when applicable
