Java for Bioinformatics 201

Java 201 is an advanced level course and the 5 modules together describe the tools and techniques that are currently used in the industry for building Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) applications for genomics and bioinformatics analyses. During the course students will be required to read and analyze scientific papers on Bioinformatics and Genomics and complete assignments in Genomics and programming. 201 covers the basic aspects of Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics and Genomics and students will therefore get ample opportunity to understand the biology behind Bioinformatics during the course of the training. Students can choose to take modules based on their background and current skills and drop those that they already have prior experience or training in. The entire course can be completed in a self-paced manner in 6-8 months.

201. Advanced Java for Bioinformatics covers the following topics:

   · Module 1: Elements of Java programming
   · Module 2: Developing Advanced GUI Applications with Swing (Blast/Genscan)
   · Module 3: Building Web Applications with JSP/Servlets Technology (PubMed)
   · Module 4: Java Database Programming With MySQL/Oracle
   · Module 5: Using NCI's caCORE and cancer Bioinformatics Infrastructure Objects
    (caBIO) to Access Biomedical Data
