BIPG 510/710 - Fundamentals of Bioinformatics and Proteomics/Genomics
This course introduces the student to the powerful tools developed to access and analyze biological sequence and structural information. The topics include sequence databases, sequence comparisons, database searches, phylogenetic analysis, protein structure, proteomics, RNA structure prediction, gene prediction and identification, genetic analysis of disease, and microarray studies of gene expression.
BIPG 520/720 - Statistical Methods in Bioinformatics
This course introduces students to statistical methods commonly used in bioinformatics. Students will learn to use statistical programs and related bioinformatics resources locally and on the Internet. Lectures and lab discussion will emphasize on the statistical models and methods underlying the computational tools.
BIPG 610 - Introduction to Bioinformatic Computation
The main goal of this course is to provide basic programming skills to biological and medical students who may lack a background in computer sciences. Programming will be specifically taught using important biological examples, focusing in particular on the PERL language. Students will be made familiar with UNIX environments, including Linux and OSX.
BIPG 640 - Applications of Bioinformatics and Proteomics/Genomics
In this final core course of the BPG program, students will be familiarized with the most advanced computational techniques, programs and databases used at the frontiers of biomedical sciences.
