Description: This bioinformatics seminar series (I and II) aim at bringing the frontier bioinformics research topics to Ph.D students in bioinformatics. Second year Ph.D students are required to register the course, and other Ph.D student and second year master students are encouraged to attend. The seminars will include (1) invited speakers from Indiana University and other research institutions; (2) senior bioinformatics Ph.D students who will report the research projects; (3) Literature discussion led by a registered student. Each registered student is required to write an essay about one bioinformatics topic that has been discussed in one of the seminars.
