Applied Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
CBB430
Course Directors: Andrew Su
Term: Winter
Credits: 3.0
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is designed to teach the fundamentals of applied bioinformatics and computational biology. As an applied course, the primary objective is to develop hands-on skills and experience manipulating and analyzing biomedical data. Although the class will focus on using R and RStudio, the principles of programming and data science will be generalizable to other languages and technologies. In addition to hands-on programming activities, students will develop oral and written presentation skills through class presentations and reports. The class will conclude with a capstone project in which students reproduce a figure or analysis from a published paper.
