Objective
This course introduces the fundamental concepts in life sciences, including basics of life, central dogma of molecular biology, genetics and biotechnology perspectives. The relevance of this subjects with computer engineering is discussed over the databases and web tools for managing and processing the data produced by the research in life sciences. The computer engineering students are expected to learn a new programming language to easily manipulate life science data and get familiar with computational biology, bioinformatics and biomedical applications.
