Bioinformatics

0.5 credits · Graduate

Bioinformatics-the application of computer programming to the management and analysis of biological information-is necessary for storing, manipulating, and analyzing large datasets. This course will consist of a mix of active lectures (i.e. coding during lecture) and computer-based labs and independent research. Students will work independently under guidance from the instructor, on a bioinformatics project of their choosing that falls within the concepts covered, and skills developed during lecture and lab. Students will work collectively on writing a primer focused topic provided by the instructor.
