CPSC 3346 - Bioinformatics

Credits: 3

This course introduces students to the basic concepts and methods that have wide applicability in the natural sciences. Particular emphasis will be placed on the arena of bioinformatics and the selection of data representation, algorithms useful in the design and implementation of practical problems arising from the field such as genetic sequencing, prediction and molecular structure comparison. Course content will be motivated by practical problems, which arise within the interdisciplinary fields of bioinformatics and computer science. As a part of this course, a one-hour laboratory to accompany CPSC 3346 - Bioinformatics is supplemented by independent laboratory assignments.
