BIO 273 - Bioinformatics Survey
Semester Hours: 3
Periodically
Bioinformatics uses computational tools and skills to improve our understanding of basic biological processes including, for example, evolution, population dynamics, protein interactions and gene expression. This course will introduce students to the computational tools and techniques used to retrieve and analyze biological sequence and structural data from DNA, RNA and protein databases. Student teams will learn and use bioinformatics tools and key concepts in data structures, algorithms, probability and statistics to solve biological problems. An advanced bioinformatics project must be completed and presented orally.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
An undergraduate course in genetics and permission of instructor. Credit given for this course or BIO 173 or CSC 121 or CSC 206 .
