Course Description
Advances in the biological and medical sciences have rendered life sciences an information-intensive field. Large amounts of data generated by constantly improving biotechnological and clinical instruments have overwhelmed wet-lab scientists and require rigorous data management and analysis methods. Computational Biology and Bioinformatics has emerged as an interdisciplinary field existing at the intersection of engineering and the basic, computational and life sciences. This newly formed discipline involves development of databases, algorithms and web-based and other tools regarding the management and analysis of life science data. Four basic areas of research are: i) DNA, RNA and protein sequence analysis, ii) functional genomics and proteomics, iii) 3D macromolecule structure prediction, iv) systems biology. This course provides an overview of the bioinformatics field covering the aforementioned four facets, providing historical perspective and case studies. Two-hour weekly problem sessions (PS) or laboratory sessions will accompany lecture hours. Problem sessions will provide students with illustrative examples where the content taught in lectures are applied to problems. Laboratory sessions will be conducted in a computer lab where students will be able to use and write programs to collect and analyze various data types and interpret and associate different analysis results.
