这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 生物信息学是生物学和计算机科学相结合的交叉学科领域。本课程强调如何使用计算工具来解决重要的生物/生物医学问题。这是一种分析大分子、推断其结构、生理功能和进化史的实用方法。将推出各种计算工具和生物/生物医学数据库。 学生们将 获取各种生物/生物医学数据库的知识。 了解如何应用各种计算工具来解决基本的生物/生物医学问题 了解计算方法的基本原理、限制

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field which merges biology and computer sciences. This course emphasizes how to use computational tools to solve significant biological/biomedical problems. This is a hands-on, practical approach to analyze large molecules, to infer the structure, physiological function and evolutionary history. Various computational tools and biological/biomedical databases will be introduced. Students will + gain knowledge of various biological/biomedical databases. + know how to apply various computational tools to address fundamental biological/biomedical problems + understand basic principles underlying computational approaches, limitations
