Methods in Nucleic Acid Sequencing Lab

3 Credits.

Sequencing technology is a rapidly progressing field that requires experience in both wet (molecular biology) and dry (computational analysis) techniques. This laboratory course will consist of three experimental modules that will provide students with valuable hands-on experience in DNA sequencing and analysis. Students will learn basic sequencing library preparation, perform sequencing experiments and analyze the resulting data. Experiments include human targeted sequencing, metagenomic sequencing and genome assembly.
