CMP243 Text and reserve list

This year the text for CMPS243 is a new book by Graeme Mitchison, Sean Eddy, Anders Krogh and Richard Durbin. It is not published yet, but copies are available at the copy center. In addition to this text, a number of books have been put on reserve in the Science Library, from which there may be required reading assignments. These are also available to students for further research into the topic they choose for their project.

The following are available as postscript files

Tutorial on hidden Markov models for biosequence analysis by Kevin Karplus, Richard Hughey, Leslie Grate and Kimmen Sjolander
Tom Schneider's primer on Information Theory written for Molecular Biologists
Tom Schneider's paper on sequence logos
David Wheeler's tutorial on score matricies for biosequence comparison. Postsript version or html version.
Tutorial on pairwise sequence alignment by Georg Fuellen and Robert Giegerich. Postscript version or html version.
Paper on mapping genes in human DNA before the sequence is finished. html version only.
