Course Description
Informatics in biology
The objective of this course is to give to the researchers and future
researchers in biology, an initial exposure to informatics. Entry in
the course is reserved to those with a degree in biology or an equivalent
discipline.
With more and more tools available to the biologist, it has become important
that the biologist acquire the ability to judge for themselves the
usefulness of a new software by the algorithms it employs.
The accent is put on the fundamental aspect of this discipline. Two
applications in biology will be studied, the analysis of sequences
and molecular modeling.
The theoretic aspects of informatics will be introduced: programming
languages, programing, logic, and also in the technical domain of
the system, the network, and computer architecture. Programming is taught
according to the functional paradigm (Scheme), but other styles
of programming, such as algorithmic and object oriented, will be introduced.
The goal of an excellent level of theory will not hurt the acquisition of
practical knowledge which will be directly usable in the labratory.
The course will consist of lectures and practical sessions.
