APMA 1080 - Inference in Genomics and Molecuar Biology
Sequencing of genomes has generated a massive quantity of fundamental biological data. We focus on drawing traditional and Bayesian statistical inferences from these data, including: alignment of biopolymer sequences; prediction of their structures, regulatory signals; significances in database searches; and functional genomics. Emphasis is on inferences in the discrete high dimensional spaces. Statistical topics: Bayesian inference, estimation, hypothesis testing and false discovery rates, statistical decision theory. Prerequisite: APMA 1650 or MATH 1610; BIOL 0200 recommended; Matlab or programming experience. Enrollment limited to 20.
