We are past the resubmission dates for HW3 and 4, so HW3 and 4 solutions are posted in the programs section (see links to the right).
I hope you all enjoyed the lecture. If you are interested in knowing more, and/or working with Dr. Puffenberger at the Clinic on these Bioinformatics problems, come talk to me. Computational thinking is not only useful in this field, but is a necessity. This is an exciting field of work, and the Clinic is doing great work and service.
Please post any thoughts you may have about the lecture here.

Bioinformatics is something I find particularly interesting. How science has improved! All I could think of was that the Parkinson's disease gene runs in my boyfriend's family which concerns me...but the gene scan could detect it and wipe it out.
Although I was having some difficulty following the biological half of the lecture, it was very impressive to see the computational tools that geneticists use. This was a prime example of computer science beautifully complimenting another science.
On the surface, the programs that are used to search through the human genome seem simple and easy to use. This is exactly how it should be. But, the complexity and accuracy of such a program is quite intimidating. Especially considering the speed with which the program was executed.
