Bioinformatics courses worldwide
Here is the list Bioinformatics courses offered around the world. Reasons for constructing this site are:

• To show the extent of growth of this new discipline
• To provide a resource for students, and academics and
• To access notes on the subject to allow some brief comparisons between courses.

The graduate courses outlined in the table mainly exist as a coursework component of an MSc or PhD degree. Of course, many institutions will also have pure research programs in Bioinformatics at the Hons, MSc, or PhD level and will not have a 'coursework component'. These research programs may not always reflect the main research program of the institution since the research depends upon the interests of a particular individual or small team within that institution. It is difficult to track these individual research programs. Consequently, we have not included all institutions with a bioinformatics research project. Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary subject and this is reflected in the fact that the courses are offered by departments or schools as diverse as: computer science, biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology, engineering, and mathematics. Similarly, bioinformatics may also be known by other names such as: computational biology, biocomputing, molecular informatics, computational molecular biology, biological information theory, molecular phylogenetics, and molecular bioinformatics.
