Eukaryotic Systems Biology

3 cr · Undergraduate

Systems biology is an interdisciplinary field of study that uses computational methods to model complex interactions within biological systems. This course will introduce a variety of recent biological advances made using systems biology, with examples from medicine, plant biology, and beyond. It will include detailed discussions of experimental and analytical methods that made these advances possible. The course will provide opportunities to explore published biological data sets using a range of tools including R programming and stand-alone, open access tools.
