The objective of the course is to present techniques from algebraic geometry and statistics so that participants will eventually be able to do research in bioinformatics. The course on bioinformatics is more concerned with practical issues and in some way complements this course.
The class will take place
- Thursday, 16:00-17:30, N - ES40, room 0008
The labs will be held by Mahwish Saleemi,
- Wednesday, 12:30-13:15, D - SBS95, room D1023.
The organizer of the course will be Svetlana Torgasin. If you have any questions, please direct them to her.
The course will largely follow the book
- L. Pachter, B. Sturmfels: Algebraic Statistics for Computational Biology, Cambridge Univ. Press, 2005.
- K.-H. Zimmermann: Algebraic Statistics, TUHH, 2008.
Contents:
- Basic algebraic statistical models.
- Advanced algebraic statistical models for alignment of biomolecular sequences and phylogenetic data.
- Basic algebraic geometry.
- Invariants for algebraic statistical models.
For recreation, I suggest to read about the life of Charles Darwin.
