Tags: C2. Computational concepts

Description

C2. Summarize key computational concepts, such as algorithms and relational databases, and their applications in the life sciences. To make use of sophisticated software and database tools, students should have a basic understanding of the principles upon which these tools are based and should be exposed to how these tools work. 

  • Explain the underlying algorithm(s) employed in sequence alignment (e.g., BLAST).
  • Modify software parameters to achieve biologically meaningful results.
  • Explain how data are organized in relational databases (e.g., NCBI and model organisms
    databases).
