Bioinformatics school training courses in Boston, MA (public, in-house or online)

Living things encode their genetic code in DNA, and use this information to regulate life processes. Bioinformatics is the study of living organisms viewed as information processors. We study algorithms for sequence alignment, motif finding and gene finding, construction of phylogenetic trees, and structure prediction. While students can find implementations of many of these algorithms, a study of the algorithms leads to a better understanding of the assumptions and limitations of existing algor...

Bioinformatics is the revolutionary merger between computer science and biology. Its techniques are used to analyze the vast amounts of experimental data emerging from genome sequencing efforts, proteomics, gene expression chips, and other data rich experiments. Such analyses will result in the creation of better, more specific drugs on a faster time scale, ultimately improving health and well-being for all of us.

The emerging field of bioinformatics is very broad. Most jobs in bioinform...
