NOTE: The reference and resources for this course will be a combination of books, scientific papers and on-line material.

Reference Books:

The course will not follow one specific text book. However, the following book will be the main reference for the course. A copy of the book is ordered and should be available from the Eng/Sci library reserve. Depending on the enrolment, copies may also be available at the bookstore for sale. An announcement will be made later in the course.

"Systems Biology in Practice: Concepts, Implementation and Application", E. Klipp, R. Herwig, A. Kowald, C. Wierling, H. Lahrach, Wiley-VCH, 2005. Eng/Sci Library.

Other reference books on related topics available at the library:

Computing Resources

Matlab and Perl are programing languages that you are likely to use throughout the course in addition to other languages you are already familiar with.

Mathworks has all the reference material and manuals for Matlab available online. Matlab is installed on all machines in CASLAB. Most research Labs at the School of Computing also have licenses.

Perl is freely available to be downloaded for different platforms. A general guide to using Perl from CASLab and from home is available here.
