Credits: 3
Networks are everywhere: the Internet, social networks, epidemiological networks, protein-interaction networks, gene regulatory networks, etc. This course will introduce students to basic concepts shared by many different kinds of networks, with focus on biological networks as examples. Students will learn how to program against networks, search for patterns hidden in networks, and visualize networks generated from real biological data sets. After this course, students will be expected to think in a network way and have basic concepts and skills to analyze network data in order to untangle the complexity of networks.
