The exciting new fields of genomics and bioinformatics are bringing together the complementary disciplines of biology and computer science. With the sequencing of the human genome and the genomes of several model
organisms,
the door has opened to using new computational and modeling approaches to understanding genome function in organisms.
This focused-inquiry course will interweave the discussion of biological and informatic topics
focusing
on computational issues and tools used in the interdisciplinary fields. Possible topics include the application of alignment algorithms to the analysis of genomic sequences, cluster analysis of micro-arrays of gene
expression,
and the prediction of RNA secondary structures using dynamic programming methods.
