CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
62343	Lecture-Discussion	AGB	11:00AM -12:20PM	TR	1109 Siebel Center for Comp Sci	Warnow, T	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/15-05/06/15 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Algorithmic Genomic Biology Section Info: Section Title: Algorithmic Genomic Biology Part of Term: 1 Section Info: Course description: This course covers four fascinating and related problems: constructing evolutionary trees, computing multiple sequence alignments, genome assembly, and analyzing microbiomes. Students will learn the mathematical and computational foundations in these areas, read the current literature, and do a team research project. The techniques involved include discrete algorithms, graph theory, simulations, and probabilistic analysis of algorithms. The course is appropriate for graduate students in computer science, computer engineering, bioengineering, mathematics, and statistics; graduate students in the biological sciences are also welcome, and will have different homework and exams. Pre-requisites: No biology background is required, but students should have some mathematical maturity, and at least one undergraduate course in algorithm design, data structures, or probability theory. Students without this background (e.g., biology graduate students, or undergraduates in engineering who have not completed an algorithms course) may be admitted, but should contact the instructor to discuss the course. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.

For each weekly topic, we will do in-depth review of various methods including the conventional/traditional protocols and the newly developed techniques. The scientific articles to be reviewed in class emphasize high precision, high spatial/temporal resolution, high-throughput, molecular accuracy, sensitivity and real-time imaging. Two students will be paired up to present each week?s article and lead the discussion. The course consists of studies on the Central Dogma of Biology (DNA, RNA and Protein) as well as cellular organelles and cell imaging. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign. Restricted to students in the Bioengineering department.
