CO7200—Algorithms for Bioinformatics
- Convenor:
- Prof T Erlebach
- Description:
Processing biological data requires complex computations on large
volumes of data. To ensure that these computations complete within a
reasonable amount of time, one must design the algorithms (computer
procedures) after a careful study of the characteristics of underlying
data and making use of existing algorithm design principles.
This module aims to introduce students to the algorithmic solution
of computational problems in bioinformatics. Students will learn
a number of probabilistic models that underlie the formulation of
biological data processing tasks as computational problems, and will
be introduced to efficient computer algorithms for solving, and some
key principles for designing efficient algorithms for solving,
these problems.
