Biological Computing (C1)
Place:Room 107, New Building of the Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica
Time:Friday 14:00-17:00
Chair:Dr. Huai-Kuang Tsai
Aim: The aim of the course is to link issues in computer science to biology and thus capture the interest of students in both areas. It is expected that students will acquire and retain important knowledge about computational biology
Outline:The course provides an introduction to the basic computational concepts and methods used in molecular biology and genetics. It covers classic algorithmic techniques (for examples: divide and conquer algorithm, dynamic programming …), data structures (e.g. queue, tree…), and common computational problems in biology (such as motif finding, sequence alignment …). In addition, Bioinformatics approaches for next generation sequencing and the most up-to-date technology will be addressed as well.
