379H--Genomics and Bioinformatics (3 cr)

Prerequisites: Open to Honors Students ONLY. Grade C or better in BIOL/BMB/ANIMSCI 285 or BMB 275

A practical, hands-on approach to subjects within computational molecular biology. Recently, there have been huge advances in our ability to understand the genome and how different genomes interact in an environment using next-generation sequencing. Analyzing these revolutionary new datasets will be essential for molecular biology in the future. Foundational topics will include analysis of whole transcriptome, whole genome, and microbiome sequencing. No coding experience required.
