# Sequence Analysis

## BIOL-4540

This course covers the theory and practice of biological sequence analysis, including algorithms for pairwise sequence alignment, multiple sequence alignment, phylogenetic analysis, and database searching. Concepts covered include homology, sequence similarity, parsimony, mechanisms and metrics of molecular evolution, biological data bases, database search algorithms (BLAST), and statistical significance. Selected topics include hidden Markov models, bootstrap analysis and gene finding. Modern sequence analysis software will be provided. Laptop computers and programming knowledge are required. Meets jointly with BIOL 6410 .
