CS 310B - Topics In Computer Science: Computational Methods In Biology

Institution:

Northeastern Illinois University

Subject:

Computer Science

Description:

Bioinformatics is the discipline that applies mathematics, statistics, computer sciene, chemistry, and biology to solving problems in biology using biological data sets. The problems investigated are usually at the molecular level. These problems include sequence alignment, genome assembly, models of evolution and phylogenetic trees, analyzing gene expression data, and gene linkage analysis. One of the most important statistical tools used in bioinformatics is the Bayesian network. This course introduces the techniques used in bioinformatics, in particular Bayesian networks, and provides solutions to several bioinformatics problems.
