6.047 Computational Biology: Genomes, Networks, Evolution (MIT)
This course focuses on the algorithmic and machine learning foundations of computational biology, combining theory with practice. We study the principles of algorithm design for biological datasets, and analyze influential problems and techniques. We use these to analyze real datasets from large-scale studies in genomics and proteomics. The topics covered include:
Genomes: biological sequence analysis, hidden Markov models, gene finding, RNA folding, sequence alignment, genome assembly
Networks

Innovation in global health practice requires leaders who are trained to think and act like entrepreneurs. Whether at a hospital bedside or in a remote village, global healthcare leaders must understand both the business of running a social venture as well as how to plan for and provide access to life saving medicines and essential health services.

Networks are ubiquitous in our modern society. The World Wide Web that links us to and enables information flows with the rest of the world is the most visible example.

It is not concerned with ideas that cannot be tested in this way, such as subjective opinions (for example, what is good or evil, beautiful or ugly) or religious beliefs (about, say, 'the meaning of life' and the existence of gods or spirits), though we will return to ideas like this at the end of this free course. The remit of science was eloquently summarise Classic Steam from the 1920s to the 1940s 5.1 The nervous system Development has so far mostly been assessed in terms of the gross performance, the overt behaviour, of the organism. Relationships have been established between certain environmental events and certain behaviours. In the next three sections, Sections 5 to 7, there is a major shift in emphasis, from considering behaviour to considering the structure of the nervous system. Essentially, this is doing no more than stepping down a level to look at what is going on inside the organism, in particula Charles Sabine & Sydney Brenner on The Personalized Genome Cory Doctorow Q and A on computer regulation Using the Prepositions At, In, and On Lesson 06 - One Minute Romanian
