This intensive 5 week, 1.5 credit hour course is part the "core"
curriculum for first year graduate students in molecular biology and
genetics. It’s goal is to provide biologists with an introduction to
databases and the computational analysis of sequence data and to the use
(and accomplishments) of high-throughput methods in genomics and
proteomics. Along the way, it provides some basic training in the use of
the most popular tools for searching biological databases, aligning
sequences, and estimating phylogenetic relationships.
