| Intro | Sequences | Structures | Expression | Databases | Surveys | Datamining | Simulation (2001) | Summary (2001) |
Bioinformatics describes the computational analysis of gene sequences, protein structures, and expression datasets on a large scale. Specific topics include sequence alignment, biological database design, geometric analysis of protein structure, and macromolecular simulation.
Meeting from 1:00-2:15 PM on Mondays and Wednesday, in Bass 305.
Mark Gerstein
Bass 432A, Phone 203 432-6105, e-mail Mark.Gerstein@yale.edu Office hours right after class
Handouts and readings with Joann Delvecchio BASS 432, 203 432-5566.
The bioinformatics module will follow a very similar progression to the course offered last fall.
(See, in particular, http://bioinfo.mbb.yale.edu/course/classes.)Also, see other related on-line lectures.
If you're really motivated, take a look at http://bioinfo.mbb.yale.edu/jobs.
If you want to use the overheads in your own course, feel free, as long
as you give proper attribution.
(A number of the overheads were derived from related courses at Stanford and Yale and
are so acknowledged.)
Most of the reading material is copyright and can NOT be freely distributed.
It should not be accessible outside of Yale.
The following directories contain some optional reading material:
http://bioinfo.mbb.yale.edu/mbb452a/reading

http://bioinfo.mbb.yale.edu/e-printThe directories are password protected. Contact the TAs for the password. Some of the material in these directories is copyrighted and should NOT be distributed outside of the course.
2 short ones in class comprising SIMPLE questions that you should be able to answer from the lectures plus the main readings.
DATE TBA First quiz will cover the first part of the bioinformatics lectures.
DATE TBA Second quiz will cover the rest of the material in the bioinformatics section up to and including Dec 02 section.

What is Bioinformatics?
Bioinformatics is conceptualizing biology in terms of molecules (in the sense of physical-chemistry) and then applying “informatics” techniques (derived from disciplines such as applied math, CS, and statistics) to understand and organize the information associated with these molecules, on a large-scale. |
