Course Information

Course Description

Bioinformatics encompasses the analysis of gene sequences, macromolecular structures, and functional genomics data on a large scale. It represents a major practical application for modern techniques in data mining and simulation. Specific topics to be covered include sequence alignment, large-scale processing, next-generation sequencing data, comparative genomics, phylogenetics, biological database design, geometric analysis of protein structure, molecular-dynamics simulation, biological networks, normalization of microarray data, mining of functional genomics data sets, and machine learning approaches for data integration.

Concise undergraduate course description

Techniques in data mining and simulation applied to bioinformatics, the computational analysis of gene sequences, macromolecular structures, and functional genomics data on a large scale. Sequence alignment, comparative genomics and phylogenetics, biological databases, geometric analysis of protein structure, molecular-dynamics simulation, biological networks, microarray normalization, and machine-learning approaches to data integration.

Prerequisites: MB&B 301b and MATH 115a or b, or permission of instructor.
MCDB 120a or 200b is a prerequisite for courses numbered MCDB 202 and above.

Different headings for this class

MB&B452/MCDB452

This version of the course consists of lectures, written problem sets, and a final written project.

MB&B752/MCDB752

This version of the course consists of lectures, written problem sets, and a final, graduate level written project.

CB&B752/CPSC752

This version of the course consists of lectures, programming assignments, and a final programming project.

For graduate students the course is broken up into two "modules" (each counting 0.5 credit towards MB&B course requirement):

MB&B 753b3, Bioinformatics: Practical Application of Data Mining (1st half of term)

MB&B 754b4, Bioinformatics: Practical Application of Simulation (2nd half of term)

Each module consists of lectures, written problem sets, and a final, graduate level written project that is half the length of the full course's final project.

For the grade weighting schemes of each course version, see Class Requirements section.

Prerequisites

The course is keyed towards CBB graduate students as well as advanced MB&B undergraduates and graduate students wishing to learn about types of large-scale quantitative analyses that whole-genome sequencing will make possible. It would also be suitable for students from other fields such as computer science or physics wanting to learn about an important new biological application for computation.

Students should have:

A basic knowledge of biochemistry and molecular biology. A knowledge of basic quantitative concepts, such as single variable calculus, some probability and statistics, and basic programming skills. These can be fulfilled by the following prerequisites statement: "Prerequisites: MBB 200 and Mathematics 115 or permission of the instructor."

Timing & location

Class: Meeting from 1:00-2:15 pm on Monday and Wednesday, in Bass 305. (First meeting will be on 9 Jan.)

Discussion section: Wed 6-7 pm in Gibbs 263 (starting Jan 18)
