CIS525 Bioinformatics II Course Abstract The use of computer programming in biology research has become the standard discipline for many biological researchers. Bioinformatics is one of the most rapidly growing areas of biological science. Perl is the favorite language for doing bioinformatics. This course is intended for students who have learned about the fundamentals of Perl programming for bioinformatics including DNA sequence analysis, parsing FASTA and GenBank files, processing BLAST output files. This course is a continuation of CIS524 Bioinformatics I. In this course, we will move on to a more advanced level of Perl programming in bioinformatics. We will cover such topics as advanced data structures, object-oriented programming, modules, relational databases, web programming, BioPerl, and more advanced algorithms. The main goal of this course is to show how Perl can not only be used to extract data from sources such as GenBank and the Protein Data Bank but also to create software projects of larger-scales to support research efforts in solving biological problems.
