BIO 340 - Bioinformatics

The deluge of DNA and protein sequence information due to genome sequencing projects has given rise to bioinformatics, a burgeoning new industry. The course trains students in computer technology, to understand, and interpret biological and biochemical data. We focus on database and sequence comparisons, genomics and proteomics analysis, computer simulation and modeling, utilization of software and hardware, and laboratory data collection and analysis.
