課程概述

This course will cover an introduction, signature developments and breakthroughs, current and future emphasis of the field of bioinformatics. Working concept, underlying algorithms, and introduction of mainstream bioinformatics tools will also be covered. Computer programming (Linux and Perl) at a beginners level will also introduced. This course will be lecture based with some hands-on experience. There will be homework projects assigned throughout the course. 

課程目標
This course is designed to introduce bioinformatics to students of biology background. Upon completion of the course, students should gain a more comprehensive understanding of the basic concepts, analytic methods, and applicable tools of bioinformatics. Students should also become more comfortable handling vast amounts of biological and genomic data with bioinformatics tools that will be essential to their work. 
課程要求
Grades will be based on attendance (5%), project assignments (45%), midterm exam (20%), and final exam (30%).
Some background in statistics and genetics is preferred but not required. No computer science prerequisites for this course.
