>Prof. Manolis Kellis
>MIT EECS, CSAIL, BROAD INSTITUTE  of MIT and HARVARD
>
>This new course covers the algorithmic foundations of computational 
>biology, combining theory with practice. We study the principles of 
>algorithm design for biological datasets, analyze existing 
>algorithms, and apply these to real datasets.
>
>Strings: biological sequence analysis, gene finding, motif 
>discovery, RNA folding, global and local sequence alignment.
>
>Genomes:  genome assembly, comparative genomics, genome duplication, 
>genome rearrangements, evolutionary theory.
>
>Networks: Gene expression, clustering algorithms, scale-free 
>networks, Machine learning applciations to genomics.
>
>Lectures and homeworks are coordinated with 6.046, the 
>quintessential introductory algorithms course taught by Charles 
>Leiserson and Ron Rivest.

>How to enroll:
>
>With 6.046:
>The best of both worlds! Enroll simultaneously in 6.046 and 6.096. 
>6.046 meets on MW 9:30-11. Grading is separate in the two courses.
>
>After 6.046:
>If you've already taken algorithms, you can enroll in 6.096 only as 
>a separate course, with permission of instructors.
