Bioinformatics

0.5 credits · Undergraduate

Biological data has grown in size and complexity. Bioinformatics--the application of computer programming to the management and analysis of biological information--is necessary for storing, manipulating, and analyzing large datasets. A tutorial-based computer lab focusing on genome sequence data allows students to learn the basics of computer programming and bioinformatics. Prerequisite: BIOL-FRSC 2050H and one of BIOL 3600H or FRSC 3700H.
