CS6985Computational Biology3 ch
This course will give an overview of computational problems and algorithms for problems associated with a variety of analysis of biological molecular data. This course will focus on the computational complexity of these problems and algorithms, and an understanding of the problems and potential solutions. Topics included string and sequence matching, structure comparison and analysis, evolutionary trees, and gene impression analysis. Some commonly used tools will also be examined. Students with credit in CS 4965 or equivalent will not receive credit for CS 6985 . Prerequisites: CS 3933 or consent of the instructor.
