Chapter 2 Introduction

This is the syllabus for BIOSCI 1540: Computational Biology.

This is both the first course in the core sequence of classes of the Computational Biology major, as well an elective for most Biological Sciences majors.

This syllabus contains both key course policies and also is a repository for useful information about the rapidly expanding and evolving field of computational biology.

The first several pages contain key information about the course. Subsequent pages are organized alphabetically by major topic.

Pages marked “Appendix” are additional information about computational biology or undergraduate research that you may find useful.
