CS 642 - Bioinformatics Research

Unit(s): 4

Bioinformatics, one of the fastest growing application areas of computer science and biology, is research oriented. Computer scientists provide their expertise in computation, algorithms and software design to biologists and chemists. Together they solve problems in biotechnology and create tools for scientific investigation. This course provides students with real-world experience in the design and development of a significant bioinformatics project. Our projects will be either research that may lead to publication, or creation of software tools for use by the scientific community, in partnership with industry.
