At the University of Manchester, UK, we now have 15 years experience in running a range of distance learning courses in computational biology. Our new course in Cloud Computing will be of interest to those who need access to computing resources, perhaps for a high-throughput sequencing project, but who may not be able to purchase and maintain a specialised system. The course begins by introducing the basic concepts of service-based distributed computing. Students will then develop the skills necessary to build applications in both Grid and Cloud Environments.
Cloud Computing is just one of the courses from our distance Masters programme. Other courses beginning in February 2013 include :
• Mathematics for metabolic modelling
• Introduction to software development in Java
• Databases and Modelling
• Object-oriented analysis and design with UML
In October we will be introducing a new course in Advanced Sequence Analysis (http://octette.cs.man.ac.uk/bioinfor...equencing.html).
