Advanced Scientific Programming

CPBS 7785

This course is aimed at advanced graduate students who want to develop their skills in scientific programming and related topics, including statistical theory, programing with large biological datasets, Bayesian analyses with phylogenetics, and data visualization. Languages used are C/C++, Perl, and R. It is expected that many students may be proficient in some but likely not all the subtopics. Examples and scientific foci will be on vertebrate genomes, transposable elements, protein structure, and human population genomics data. Registration by permission of instructor only.

Instructor is David Pollock, TA is Aaron Wacholder.

 

 

HMGP 7620 STBB 7620 and CPBS 7620

This course will introduce graduate students (and interested postdocs, technicians and faculty) to the field of genomics. Next offered Spring 2014. The previous optional computer workshop is now being offered as a separate course (Mol Biol 7620; Hesselberth).

Course Directors: Pollock Sikela & Johnston
