Computational Biology

About this programme

In computational biology we use computational methods to study biological systems. The course addresses computational problems in molecular biology, formalisation of biological issues, algorithm techniques for solving common molecular biological computational problems, function and implementation of important bioinformatics computer programs. The course is assessed through written and oral exam, and written and oral presentations of the exercises. At time of writing both books are available digitally via Stockholm University Library.
