William Pearson
The Genome Era has transformed modern biology, providing sequence data that records genetic changes that occur over time scales from billions of years (evolution) to months (tumor growth). This interdisciplinary course introduces the algorithms, statistics & biological concepts used to make inferences from genome datasets and will provide the computational foundation & practical experience needed to test biological questions using genome data.
Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics with William Pearson: 需要很强大的CS和统计背景，不然完全不知道课上在讲什么，不需要什么生物的基础。作业是写码，要花很长时间，office hour也少。一节课讲的东西太多了，无法follow，但是给分好像比较松。有客友一起会好一些，除非CS和统计很好，不然推荐不要选这门课。CS major的同学上完2150似乎可以考虑一下？
