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 (semi-computational section and a literature survey) project.

MB&B752/MCDB752

This version of the course consists of lectures, written problem sets, and a final (semi-computational section and a literature survey) project.

CB&B752/CPSC752

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


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

MB&B 753a3, Bioinformatics: Practical Application of Data Mining (1st half of term)

MB&B 754a4, 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 13 Jan 2014 (Mon). The third meeting will be 17 Jan 2014 (Fri), as part of Yale's compensation for canceling classes on 20 Jan 2014 (Mon.), in observance of MLK day. See Course Schedule for details.)

Discussion section:

Section 1 (Michael): Wednesdays 2:30-3:30pm, starting 29 Jan 2013. Section 2 (Cong): Fridays 4:30-5:30pm, starting week of 31 Jan 2013.

Class Requirements

Discussion Section / Readings

Papers will be assigned throughout the course. These papers will be presented and discussed in weekly 60-minute sections with the TFs. A brief summary (a half-page per article) should be submitted at the beginning of the discussion session.

Bioinformatics quizzes

There will be four short quizzes (25 minutes) in class comprising SIMPLE questions that you should be able to answer from the lectures plus the main readings.

Answer keys to Quizzes 1-4 cbb752a12: found here

Programming Assignments (CBB and CS) and Programming issues

There will be several short programming assignments required for CBB and CS students taking this course. Acceptable languages and submission requirements will be discussed prior to the first assignment. These assignments are NOT required for students not taking the CBB or CS sections of the course.

These are the programming languages that we permit in the programming assignments and final project: Perl, Python, C, C++, MATLAB and R. If you really feel more comfortable with other languages, please email the TFs to discuss. Also, packages such as BioPerl and BioPython are not allowed in the assignments and final project. If in doubt, please consult the TFs.

We recommend the use of PERL for most of the programming. A useful resource is the following book: Programming Perl, 3rd Edition in the O' Reilly series, by Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen, Jon Orwant. The Yale Library has also older editions, which would work too. We would also recommend the following online resources: http://www.perlmonks.org/ and http://stackoverflow.com/. Otherwise, Google is your best friend.

Brief presentation on how to cite correctly : http://archive.gersteinlab.org/mark/out/log/2012/06.12/cbb752b12/cbb752_cite.ppt

Plagiarism

Below is a message from Dean Mary Miller of Yale College about citing your references and sources of information and plagiarism:

" You need to cite all sources used for papers, including drafts of papers, and repeat the reference each time you use the source in your written work. You need to place quotation marks around any cited or cut-and-pasted materials, IN ADDITION TO footnoting or otherwise marking the source. If you do not quote directly – that is, if you paraphrase – you still need to mark your source each time you use borrowed material. Otherwise you have plagiarized. It is also advisable that you list all sources consulted for the draft or paper in the closing materials, such as a bibliography or roster of sources consulted.
You may not submit the same paper, or substantially the same paper, in more than one course. If topics for two courses coincide, you need written permission from both instructors before either combining work on two papers or revising an earlier paper for submission to a new course.

It is the policy of Yale College that all cases of academic dishonesty be reported to the chair of the Executive Committee.... "

Also, it might be of interest to people, to look at this recent article regarding academic dishonesty.
