Overview
Class Central Tips
This course is the second in a two-part series that begins with Bioinformatics Algorithms (Part 1). It will build upon the biological and computational material covered in the first course to cover additional topics in modern computational biology.
The format for this course will be the same as that of Part 1. Each chapter of course material will cover a single biological question and slowly build the algorithmic knowledge required to address this challenge. Along the way, coding challenges and exercises (many of which ask you to apply your skills to real genetic data) will be directly integrated into the text at the exact moment they are needed.
