This course introduces core bioinformatic competencies and resources. Topics include algorithms for sequence alignment, genome assembly, phylogenetics, structure prediction, functional genomics, sequence motifs and proteomics. Students will also learn to use major proteomic and genomic databases, to utilize bioinformatics software toolboxes, and to write simple bioinformatics programs in a scripting language. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours and 1.5 Practicum/Lab hoursPrerequisite(s): BIOL 121.3 or BMSC 200.3; and one of CMPT 145.3 or (CMPT 141.3 or BINF 151.3 with permission of the department). Note: Students with credit for BINF 200.3 may not take this course for credit. Costs in addition to tuition apply to this course.
