| This course covers current methods for making use of large molecular data sets to identify the genes that control traits,
to characterize genes' functions, and to infer genetic relationships among individuals. It focuses on case studies and current
research in agriculture and medicine to introduce molecular data analysis methods, including analyzing molecular markers,
constructing nucleotide and protein sequence alignments, constructing phylogenies, and finding motifs and genes in biological
sequences. Lab sessions include an introduction to Unix and Perl for the biologist and hands-on use of several molecular data
analysis programs.
