Dear all,
the slides and recording of lecture 19 (from Monday July 4), as well as a pre-recording of the next lecture (of Thursday July 7) are now online. I will not be able to give a live lecture on Thursday, unfortunately, as I am attending a funeral of a friend and former colleague in Berlin.
(In fact, the Thursday lecture briefly introduces the BLOSUM62 score matrix, and with this colleague I worked on non-symmetric score matrices a long time ago; it was one of my first papers: Non-symmetric score matrices and the detection of homologous transmembrane proteins.)
So please take the time on Thursday morning to watch the pre-recorded lecture, which should be easy going (in comparison to previous topics like the FM index), as it expands on well known topics (pairwise alignments).
Some other notes about the course:
- Please evaluate the course, both lecture and tutorial (separately) before July 14. Evaluation links are provided on top of the Materials page (administrative section). It will be most helpful if you can provide free-text comments on what was good and what to do better next time.
- The last regular assignment (#10) will be published on Thursday. There may be a (small) bonus assignment the week after just in case people are missing one or two points in one category. It will not be possible to catch up a lot of points by this bonus assignment.
- First exam dates have been changed to Monday, Wednesday, Thursday (with a few more slots on Tuesday), July 25, 27, 28. A doodle will be sent around shortly.
