Short Course in Bioinformatics
United States - MI - Ann Arbor

Hosted by: University of Michigan Bioinformatics Program and MCBI
Venue: University of Michigan
Dates: Aug 18, 2004 through Aug 20, 2004

Event Registration: 2004-06-22 through 2004-08-17
 
Description
 
Challenging intensive courses covering material from our regular graduate courses on computational biology in a format that is accessible to working scientists. Participants will become familiar with the theory and practice of molecular sequence analysis, proteomics, and processing and analyzing cancer biology data. The aim is to provide an appreciation for how and why different analytic approaches are used, their capabilities and their limitations. We emphasize the use of public domain software tools rather than focusing on a specific commercial package. Participants should be familiar with basic molecular biology and mathematics at the level of college calculus, but programming skills or higher-level computer science experience is not required. The courses are targeted to students at the level of a first or second year doctoral candidate and professional scientists in molecular biology or biotechnology.

- Statistics, model based data analysis, HMMs, mathematical methods of gene mapping and gene finding

- Protein models, threading, dynamic programming optimal and suboptimal RNA alignment and folding

- Information measures, Karlin-Altschul statistics, Sum statistics, gapped BLAST, database searching

- Multiple sequence alignment, generalized dynamic programming, phylogeny and molecular evolution
