This course presents the principles nd methodology for Bioinformtics. It focuses on the ppliction of computtionl methods to study biologicl problems. It will introduce the principles, scope, ppliction nd limittions of bioinformtics. This course is designed to introduce bioinformtics t level pproprite for biology undergrdutes hving completed n undergrdute core, nd for chemistry, computer science, nd mth undergrdutes with n interest in biology. This course is designed so tht the content nd curricul cn rpidly djust s required to meet chnging circumstnces during the course of the semester nd to evolve with the topics of interest in bioinformtics over time. Students will lern to use conventionl softwre, webbsed pplictions, nd softwre which they downlod to their mchine. By using the welltested nd successful pproch of problembsed lerning, students will lern through pplying the strtegies nd tools used in bioinformtics to topicl problems drwn from ongoing reserch nd pplictions in vriety of fields. There is to be n integrtion of the bsics of computtion nd nlysis long with chemistry nd biology throughout the course. References 1. Fundmentl Concepts of Bioinformtics Dn, E. K. & Michel, L. R.
