CHE 255 - Introduction to Bioinformatics

Institution:

Lincoln University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Chemistry

Description:

Students will study and use methods and software tools for visualizing and understanding biological data by using computer science and statistics to analyze and interpret biological data. This course will inroduce tools usefut for retrievins and analzing biological data and will show how these skills can be applied to a wide range of disciplines such as molecular biology, medicine, biotechnology, forensic science, and anthropology. Students will explore topics such as protein-protein interactions and genomic sequencing data. Basic concepts in computer science (e.g. Linux command-line, batch scripting) will be followed up with introduction to data collection and mining techniques with current software packages (which will be updated frequently and may include NCBI, UCSC genome browser, UnProt, GenBank, 1000 genomes The Cancer Genome Atlas, HapMap, R, cBioPortal, Tetrad).
