Algorithms for Bioinformatics

Language of instruction angličtina, čeština
Code 460-6025
Abbreviation ABI
Course title Algorithms for Bioinformatics
Coordinating department Department of Computer Science
Course coordinator prof. RNDr. Václav Snášel, CSc.

Summary

The course is focused on biological applications, computational problems, and their various advanced algorithmic solutions. Students will be introduced, in-depth, to the algorithmic techniques applied in bioinformatics. Each topic provides the biological motivation and precisely defines the corresponding computational problems; different methods and the corresponding algorithms are also presented including detailed examples to illustrate each algorithm.
