| 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, environmental biology, and medicine to introduce molecular data analysis methods, including analyzing
genome sequences, constructing nucleotide and protein sequence alignments, constructing phylogenies, and finding motifs and
genes in biological sequences. Lab sessions include an introduction to Unix and Python for the biologist and hands-on use
of several molecular data analysis programs.
