Course Description:
BINF 701/702 is the bioinformatics core course developed at the KU Center for
Bioinformatics. The course is designed to introduce the most important and
basic concepts, methods, and tools used in Bioinformatics. Topics include (but
not limited to) bioinformatics databases, sequence and structure alignment,
protein structure prediction, protein folding, protein-protein interaction, Monte
Carlo simulation, and molecular dynamics. Emphasis will be put on the
understanding and utilization of these concepts and algorithms. The objective is
to help the students to reach rapidly the frontier of bioinformatics and be able to
use the bioinformatics tools to solve the problems on their own research.
