課程概述

This course will put equal emphasis towards lecture and hands-on experience. Most weeks will include classroom lecture followed by computer lab time. There will be several homework projects assigned throughout the course. Office hours and additional lab time will be available for students who have questions regarding the lecture or lab portion of the course. Server accounts will be provided at the beginning of the course and rescinded upon completion of the course. 

課程目標
This course is designed to introduce bioinformatics to students of biology background. This course will cover an introduction, signature developments and breakthroughs, current and future emphasis of the field of bioinformatics. Working concept, underlying algorithms, and practical usage of mainstream bioinformatics tools will also be covered. Computer programming (Linux, R, Python, Excel) at a beginners level will also introduced. 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.
