Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that uses computational approaches to answer biological and biochemical questions. This course is designed to discuss algorithms for some important computational problems in Molecular Biology, especially in analyzing andclassification of genomes, genes, gene products/
proteins, andfunctions. We shall study exact algorithms for those problems which can be solvedefficiently, as well as complexity, approximation algorithms andheuristics for the more difficult problems. We shall concentrate on discrete realistic models for the biological problems. Many biological examples will be presented.
