BINF 3211

Bioinformatics Databases and Data Mining Technologies

Lecture course that incorporates extensive computational exercises, some of which will be done in class. Lecture topics are intended to introduce students to core concepts in both database management system theory and implementation and in data modeling for genomics data types. Exercises are intended to give students practical experience in setting up and populating a database, using public data repositories and using standard tools for retrieving data (SQL), and further, using existing tools for data mining and visualization of genomics data types. Emphasis placed on standards and emerging practices.
