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.
