Curriculum: Computational Genomics Specialization Area

Computational Genomics entails efforts to digest the daunting quantity of genomic and proteomic data now available by systematic development and application of probability and statistics theories, information technologies and data mining techniques. Linguistics methods are viewed as promising tools towards elucidating sequence-structure-function relations, and complementing computational genomics studies. Computational genomics targets understanding gene/protein function, identifying and characterizing cellular regulatory networks and discerning the link between genes and diseases. Discovery and processing of this information is pivotal in the development of novel gene therapy strategies and tools.
