An introduction to the study of sequential algorithms. Analysis of computing time, asymptotic notation, introduction to lower bound theory. Induction, correctness proofs, and recurrence relations. Major design strategies: the greedy method, divide-and-conquer, dynamic programming. Graph and network algorithms.

GNTD 8001C - Introduction to Functional Genomics
The course consists of lectures/seminars on the theory and use of functional genomics approaches in biomedical research. Each lecture is accompanied by a lab session in an electronic classroom that provides hands-on experience in practical application of functional genomics principles. A key part of the course is group research projects in which students analyze primary genomics data to answer research questions.
