BIOL 338 Genomics and Bioinformatics 6 credits
The advent of next-generation sequencing technology has revolutionized biology, enabling transformative breakthroughs in fields ranging from agriculture to conservation to medicine. In this course, students will gain experience with the computational and bioinformatics tools needed to analyze “big data,” including sequence searching and alignment, assembly, gene calling and annotation. Students will learn to ask and answer their own scientific questions using sequence data, and to critically assess the conclusions of other genomics and bioinformatics studies. No prior computer programming experience is required. Associated laboratory will focus on wet lab methods for DNA/RNA extraction and preparation as well as computational analysis.
Requires concurrent registration in Biology 339.
Waitlist Information: If you have already registered for BIOL 338 and BIOL 339, but would like to waitlist for a second BIOL 339 lab section, you will need to remove the lecture section by clicking the Minus Sign icon next to BIOL 338, prior to completing the waitlist process. If you are offered a seat in the lab, you will be able to register for the lecture at the same time.
