BNFO 235 - Programming for Bioinformatics (3-0-3)
The ability to use existing programs and to write small programs to access bioinformatics information or to combine and manipulate various existing bioinformatics programs has become a valuable part of the skill set of anyone working with biomolecular or genetic data. This course provides an understanding of the architecture of bioinformatics toolkits and experience in writing small bioinformatics programs using one or more of the scripting ("glue") languages frequently employed for such tasks. Effective From: Fall 2006
