Although GCG/SeqWeb can still be used here at BCRF, it is with outdated public databases. Please consider moving to EMBOSS for your sequence analysis work. # 2007-11-07 Service In the week of 12 to 16 November we are relocating most of our servers into new, closed racks. Access to our compute cluster and specialised servers will be limited - we will try our best to keep the main login server up and running most of the time. Updates will be posted here. http://bioinformatics.unl.edu/docs/classes/ComputationalMolecularBiology-STAT892-BIOS897.pdf 2007-06-26 Classes Starting Fall 2007, we offer a new graduate course BIOS 897 / STAT 892: Computational Molecular Biology. Instructor: Prof. Steve Ladunga. Students with a background in life sciences, agronomy, computer science, mathematics are encouraged to attend. # 2007-05-08 Service Home page of the new website http://bioinformatics.unl.edu/images/rss/websiteThumb.jpg The Bioinformatics Core Research Facility just released its new website. http://bioinformatics.unl.edu/docs/classes/FlyerPerlProgramming-BIOS828-428.pdf 2007-05-04 Classes I have the pleasure to announce BIOS 428/828 Perl Programming for Biological Applications (3 credits) for the Fall 2007 semester; a course which the NRI Center for Biotechnology/School of Biological Sciences will be running for the second time. Nowadays, it is increasingly important that students in biological (and related) sciences have been exposed to some part of computational biology, and learning how to program plays an important role in achieving such a goal. We have chosen Perl as the language to teach - as this language is widely used in the biological sciences. During this course we will teach the concepts of programming, and will demonstrate these concepts with real-life examples taken from the various domains in the biological sciences. Although this course is geared towards biological applications of Perl, we will by no means limit the participation of engineering or computer science students to this course, although it must be understood that if a student is already fluent in another programming language this course might not be for her/him. The course will consist of lectures (Tue) and a required computer lab (Thu); grading will be 40% computer lab work and 60% final assignment. For graduate students it is required that they come up with their own project for the final assignment; for undergraduate students this is not expected but allowed with prior permission. The preliminary course web site (i.e. syllabus) can be found at http://bioinformatics.unl.edu/people/jeanjack/PerlProgramming.html ; the final course web site will be on Blackboard once the course entry is created. http://bioinformatics.unl.edu/people/jeanjack/PerlProgramming.html 2006-06-14 Classes Perl Programming for Biological Applications, a new bioinformatics programming course, starts in the fall, 2006.
