This course is an introduction to system-level programming with an emphasis on C programming, process management, and small scale concurrency with multi-threaded programming. Special attention will be devoted to proficiency with memory management and debugging facilities both in a sequential and parallel setting.

Started in 1995 by the completion of the first genome sequence of a free-living organism, H. influenzae, the genomic era has led to thousands of complete genome sequences deposited in public databases and many more genome projects at various stages of completion. The large-scale availability of genome data is revolutionizing biological and medical research, with data-driven computational approaches taking a central role. This course covers fundamental computational methods for genomic data analysis, with a main emphasis on statistical methods for genomic data analysis and current applications in genomics and genetic epidemiology. Topics include statistical modeling of biological sequences, probabilistic models of DNA and protein evolution, expectation maximization and Gibbs sampling algorithms, genomic sequence variation, and applications in genomics and genetic epidemiology.
