This course is designed to teach students the principles of risk analysis and management. Students will be taught how to employ risk analysis and management principles to create coordinated and fiscally sound uses of resources to minimize, monitor, and control risks. Risks must first be identified before they can be prioritized and managed. Students will be taught risk analysis methods that capture the uncertainty associated with the risk assessment. Students will then explore risk management strategies.

This course discusses how data mining technologies are used to transform large quantities of data into information to support tactical and strategic decisions in business and bioinformatics. We will discuss applications of data mining technologies in customer relationship management (CRM), direct marketing, ecommerce, finance, and retailing. Although we discuss some workings of the technologies, the focus of the course is learning when and how to use the technologies in business and bioinformatics applications. We approach the material from two perspectives, a business analyst and a bioinformatics specialist. The course is designed primarily for students taking a Minor in Bioinformatics and those concentrating in information systems.

This is a research-based course in Genomics. The students will learn to annotate genomic sequences in two steps. In the first step, structural annotation and genomic elements are identified. This includes defining genes, boundaries, gene elements like coding regions, gene structure, regulatory motifs, ORFs, exons, introns, promoters etc, characterization of putative protein products and other features in primary genomic sequence. The second step, functional annotation, applies biological information to genomic elements. It includes regulation, expression, and assigning biochemical and biological functions to the gene.
