BIOI 3500 ADVANCED BIOINFORMATICS PROGRAMMING (3 credits)
Because of the volume and complexity of biological data, advanced programming skills are required for researchers in order to get the most out of their data analyses. This course will provide the expanded programming skills necessary to develop software that can exploit the complex information landscape of bioinformatics. Specific topics covered will include molecular biology basics, Unix/Linux shell programming, Perl and BioPerl, databases and using the Perl DBI, and data visualization.
Prerequisite(s): BIOI 3000 and CSCI 1620; or permission of instructor. CSCI 3320 is strongly recommended but not required.
