COSC 460 Bioinformatics and Genomic Data Science
This course introduces students to bioinformatics, merging Computer Science and Molecular Biology/Genetics. It tackles Big Data generated from biotechnology, primarily sequential data such as DNA and protein sequences. It bridges the gap between existing algorithms and developing next-generation bioinformatics tools by understanding the algorithmic underpinnings. The course covers standard sequence analysis techniques, phylogeny, common data formats and storage techniques, and cutting-edge topics like CRISPR and Deep Learning.
