Applied Bioinformatics

Welcome to the Applied Bioinformatics Course Wiki.

These wiki pages are provided to coordinate information, activities and projects in the applied bioinformatics courses taught by Boris Steipe at the University of Toronto. If you are not one of my students, you can still browse this site, however only users with a login account can edit or contribute or edit material. If you are here because you are interested in general aspects of bioinformatics or computational biology, you may want to review the Wikipedia article on bioinformatics, or visit Wikiomics. Contact boris.steipe(at)utoronto.ca with any questions you may have.



The Courses

BCB410H1F is the undergraduate course code and JTB2020H1S is the course code for graduate students. However the delivery and scope of the courses is very different:

  • BCB410 is intended for students in the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Specialist Program. Therefore I assume that all students are very familiar with a wide variety of computer science related topics and their practical application.
  • JTB2020 is designed for students in the Collaborative PhD Program in Bioinformatics and Genome Biology. These students have a wide variety of backgrounds and prior experience. They participate in the Computational Systems Biology Course and go through a number of targeted exercises in applied bioinformatics to add as much material to their knowledge- and skill set as can reasonably be acquired in a single term.
