CPSC 435 - Computational Biology

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

Recent advances in understanding the molecular basis of life rely not only on the traditional laboratory methods of the biologist but also on computational techniques for extracting meaning from enormous amounts of data. This field presents hard new problems to the computer scientist, as well as opportunities to bring existing techniques to bear on a new domain. In this course we will study algorithms and data structures that address such problems as multiple sequence alignment, physical mapping, three-dimensional structure prediciton, genome rearrangements, and the construction of phylogenetic trees.
