COMP 416

Genome-Scale Algorithms

Since the advent of Sanger Sequencing in 1977, computer scientists have devised algorithms and software tools to interpret and analyze DNA sequences. The field of bioinformatics focuses on computational approaches to solving biological questions. This course serves both as an introduction to widely used algorithms in bioinformatics and a software design course. The class involves a semester-long software design and implementation project, emphasizing design patterns and high-performance computing. No prior knowledge of biology is assumed nor required. Cross-list: COMP 519. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for COMP 416 if student has credit for COMP 519.

COMP 519

Genome-Scale Algorithms

Since the advent of Sanger Sequencing in 1977, computer scientists have been devising algorithms and software tools to interpret and analyze DNA sequences. The field of bioinformatics focuses on computational approaches to solving biological questions. This course will serve as an introduction to widely used algorithms in bioinformatics used for pattern searching, genome assembly, sequence alignment, and clustering of biological data. No prior knowledge of biology is assumed. The class involves several programming assignments. Cross-list: COMP 416. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for COMP 519 if student has credit for COMP 416.
