The aim of the course is to introduce computing students to modern
computational practices in bioinformatics. We will look at two
important areas of bioinformatics, namely protein structure prediction
(using both sequence matching and machine learning techniques) and
data management and mining in bioarray informatics. We place this
course in the wider context of biological research, but we mostly
concentrate on the algorithmic details of bioinformatics. It is our
objective that the computing students who take this course will have
an understanding of bioinformatics methods at the algorithmic level
and will therefore be able to complement researchers with biological
backgrounds.
