Course Objectives
|
This is a 3 credit hours course designed for students with a background in biological sciences who have covered the pre-requisite courses of Computational Drug Design and Advanced Computational Biology. The course aims to provide students with the background knowledge of probability distributions and statistical knowledge applicable in analysis of molecular biology data. Furthermore, it will use the R statistical package for the implementation of these concepts. R is a widely used for data analysis and visualization in the scientific community and this will provide students with a useful set of skills to apply in their own research work.
