Beyond gap models: reconstructing alignments and phylogenies under genomic-scale events, session at the Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing, held at the Big Island of Hawaii, January 4-8, 2008.

Travel Schedule (2006-2008)

Spring 2008 Teaching:

• Office hours: Wednesdays 4-5 and by appointment
• Graduate course: Algorithms for Computational Biology. This course qualifies as a Diversity Course for the CS graduate students, and covers research in phylogeny reconstruction and multiple sequence alignment. Prerequisites include coursework in algorithms (at the undergraduate level) but no knowledge about biology. Please contact me if you are concerned about your background, but are interested in the material.
• Undergraduate course: Elements of Computing: Algorithms in Bioinformatics. This Elements course is designed for non-majors who are interested in biology, bioinformatics, or just in algorithms! No programming experience is required for this course! However, if you haven't had the pre-requisites (the first two Elements courses), please contact me. Most students with some coursework in mathematics, logic, or computer science can do very well in this course.
