+Welcome to the course homepage of //Review in Computational Biology//, which will take place at Cambridge Computational Biology Institute, Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Wilberforce Road, Cambridge during **Lent Term 2013**.
+The aim of this course is to develop two critical skills for research: the ability to identify relevant questions from the scientific literature and effective scientific writing. In addition, it introduces students to the process of publishing and peer reviewing of manuscripts. Every week, the course reviews a current research topic in computational biology. Each student will write one review, and provide two reports on colleagues' written work.

+====== Published reviews initiated in this course ======
-Three reviews from last year (at ETH Zurich, Switzerland) have been submitted (after additional work during the summer) and accepted for publication in [[http://bib.oxfordjournals.org|Briefings in Bioinformatics]] (Oxford Journals):
-  *  Adam Szalkowski and Christoph Schmid, //Rapid innovation in ChIP-seq peak-calling algorithms is outdistancing benchmarking efforts//, ([[http://bib.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2010/11/08/bib.bbq068.full.html?ijkey=JiyuBmNw42pQXxj&keytype=ref|Link]])
