COURSE OBJECTIVES:
1. modelling evolution of biological sequences - multiple sequence alignment; hidden Markov models for multiple sequence alignment and associated topics,
2. protein structure analysis: protein fold, secondary structure elements, distance matrices; structure alignment,
3. phylogenetic analysis - UPGMA and neighbour-joining algorithms
4. clustering and classification: k-means clustering, how many k in k-means; elements of machine learning for biological sequence classification - support vector machines.
