Course Description
This course introduces fundamental results in discrete algorithms for combinatorial problems in bioinformatics and computational biology. The emphasis is on realistic models of computational problems that arise in the analysis of biological data, and practical algorithms for their solution. The content has depth in the area of biological sequence analysis, and breadth in areas such as phylogeny construction, protein structure prediction, and genome rearrangement analysis. Grades are based on homeworks, exams, programming projects, and a class presentation.
