Synopsis

This course is an introduction/review of some of the fundamental concepts in biology, the information representation and management problems that arise from these fields, and current and potential informatics solutions to these problems. The course is intended primarily for students with technical backgrounds, in areas such as computer science, electrical engineering, information science and related fields. Students with a biology background may also find the course of benefit because of the emphasis on informatics. The goal is to prepare students for work in bioinformatics, which is here defined to be the application of information technology to basic biomedical science. For more information see the course overview.
