100214960 BIOINFORMATICS & COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY ( 2 Crd.Hrs )

Pre-Requisites : 100213311, 100412810, 110411000, 110411000

This course will focus on the field of bioinformatics. After providing and overview of biological data as DNA and protein sequence, genetic markers and providing a summary of population genetics concepts, the course will cover various methods of computational genetic analysis. Students will learn about DNA and protein sequence analysis (homology, identity and similarity), mechanisms and measures of molecular evolution (evolutionary analysis), extraction of information about structure and function from amino acids sequences, modelling of macromolecules, gene mapping, molecular biology databases, analysis of expression data and micro array analysis.
