Computational & Comparative Genomics

Course - Cold Spring Harbor, NY, United States

This course presents a comprehensive overview of the theory and practice of computational methods for the identification and characterization of functional elements from DNA sequence data. The course focuses on approaches for extracting the maximum amount of information from protein and DNA sequence similarity through sequence database searches, statistical analysis, and multiple sequence alignment. Additional topics include:

Alignment and analysis of “next-gen” sequencing data, with applications from metagenomic, RNA-Seq, and CHiP-Seq experiments

The Galaxy environment for high-throughput analysis

Regulatory element and motif identification from conserved signals in aligned and unaligned sequences

Integration of genetic and sequence information in biological databases

The ENSEMBL genome browser and BioMart
