Tik-61.181 Timetable

The first topics will be assigned on 19.9., and the rest on 26.9.

There is a relatively lot material under each topic so the idea is not to present all algorithmic details and variations. The details will be considered in the exercises.

References to books:
SM: Setubal & Meidanis
SSK: Salzberg, Searls, Kasif
DEKM: Durbin, Eddy, Krogh, Mitchison
BB: Baldi & Brunak - this is only complementary material
