Undergraduate

An introduction to the analysis of biological data using computational tools. Using R programming, students will apply and interpret bioinformatic techniques including genetic mapping, microbiome analysis, and RNA-sequencing. This course will include examples of applications across biological fields such as human health, agriculture, and conservation. Biology Majors may use BIOL 4663 to either fulfill the Biology Core or as credit toward the BIOL 3000-4000 requirement, but not both. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 2013 and one other 3h 2000-level BIOL, MATH 1253, MATH 2243, each completed with a minimum grade of C-. Antirequisite(s): Credit can be obtained for only one of BIOL 4663 or COMP 4663.
