Computational biology graduate programs are difficult to find. You might
look at the Medical Informatics Program at Stanford. Another thing to
try would be to look at Biophysics programs, which often have a few
computational biologists (e.g. Axel Brunger of Yale's MB&B department).
Fyi: I think this course will be offered again next spring at Stanford.

Undergraduate and Upper-Division Courses
Math/Biol 227. Mathematical and Computational Molecular Biology
Precipicated by an enormous increase in molecular sequence data (both DNA
and protein), computational tools have become essential to molecular
biology research. This course seeks to provide a state-of-the-art
introduction to the subject. Emphasis will be on concepts and principles,
combined with hands-on (-keyboard) applications. Topics will include:
score-based sequence analysis, amino acid substitution scoring matrices,
dynamic programming methods for sequence alignment, phylogenetic trees
from sequence data, signal search methods, codon usage, exon/intron
prediction. Some of the lectures will be guest presentations on current
research in this area at Stanford.
Prerequisites: This interdisciplinary course is directed at graduate and
interested undergraduate students of biology, medicine, computer science,
statistics, operations research, or mathematics. There are no formal
prerequisites, as all necessary knowledge will be developed in the course.
However, some knowledge of the fundamental concepts of molecular biology
and statistical analysis will be helpful. See the instructor for any
questions regarding this.
