COT 4461 - Computational Biology

Institution:

University of North Florida

Subject:

COT-Computing Theory

Description:

Prerequisites: COP 3530 or COP 3540; STA 4321 or STA 2023 This course is an introduction to the study of Algorithmic and Computational problems in molecular biology. Computer science concepts are emphasized, such as the improvement in asymptotic running time with better algorithms, the contrast between heuristics and an algorithm with guarantees, and the difficulty posed by NP-Complete problems. Algorithms for sequence comparison, alignment, and assembly are covered as well as problems in evolutionary trees and genome rearrangements. Combinatorial methods will be the primary focus.
