Synopsis nComputational problems and algorithmic solutions for genomic data nPre-requesite: Data structure and basic algorithms nGoal: n(a) able to design a dynamic programming n(b) understand sequence comparison and Hidden Markov Model methods n(c) understand, use, and programme sequence-based bioinformatics By Michael Schroeder, Biotec5
Part 1: Sequence comparison nWeek 1: Primer on Molecular Biology nWeek 2-5: Sequence Comparison, theory and practice nThe basic dynamic programming algorithm, gap cost variations, extension to patterns. nAcceleration: indexing, filtration methods, FASTA and BLAST as examples. nMulti-sequence alignment: scoring schemes, greedy/DCA/MSA/round-robin heuristics. By Michael Schroeder, Biotec6

Part 3: Phylogeny nWeek 10-13: Phylogeny nJukes-Cantor model, maximum-likelihood method, distance-based methods, neighbor-joining, HMMs. Genome rearrangements By Michael Schroeder, Biotec8
Part 4: Optional topics nWeek 14: Optional Topics (per instructor and time permitting) nRNA Secondary Structure: Definitions, Scoring schemes, dynamic programming approaches. nMotif Finding: Repeat finding. Promoter and enhancer recognition. Signal peptide recognition. nGenotyping: Basic genetics, haplotype determination, haplotype blocks, forensic identification. nGenome Sequence Assembly: Technology overview.
