Lecture Description

Instructor: David Gifford

This lecture by Prof. David Gifford is about RNA-seq (RNA sequencing), a method of characterizing RNA molecules through next-generation sequencing. He begins with the principles of RNA-seq, and then moves on to how to analyze the data generated by RNA-seq.

Course Description

This course is an introduction to computational biology emphasizing the fundamentals of nucleic acid and protein sequence and structural analysis; it also includes an introduction to the analysis of complex biological systems. Topics covered in the course include principles and methods used for sequence alignment, motif finding, structural modeling, structure prediction and network modeling, as well as currently emerging research areas. This course is designed for advanced undergraduates and graduate students with strong backgrounds in either molecular biology or computer science, but not necessarily both. The scripting language Python—which is widely used for bioinformatics and computational biology—will be used; foundational material covering basic programming skills will be provided by the teaching assistants. Graduate versions of the course involve an additional project component.

Instructors: Christopher Burge, David Gifford, Ernest Fraenkel
